    22 
    23 \section naming_conv Naming Conventions
    24 
    25 In order to make development easier we have made some conventions
    26 according to coding style. These include names of types, classes,
    27 functions, variables, constants and exceptions. If these conventions
    28 are met in one's code then it is easier to read and maintain
    29 it. Please comply with these conventions if you want to contribute
    30 developing LEMON library.
    31 
    32 \note When the coding style requires the capitalization of an abbreviation,
    33 only the first letter should be upper case.
    34 
    35 \code
    36 XmlReader
    37 \endcode
    38 
    39 
    40 \warning In some cases we diverge from these rules.
    41 This is primary done because STL uses different naming convention and
    42 in certain cases
    43 it is beneficial to provide STL compatible interface.
    44 
    45 \subsection cs-files File Names
    46 
    47 The header file names should look like the following.
    48 
    49 \code
    50 header_file.h
    51 \endcode
    52 
    53 Note that all standard LEMON headers are located in the \c lemon subdirectory,
    54 so you should include them from C++ source like this:
    55 
    56 \code
    57 #include <lemon/header_file.h>
    58 \endcode
    59 
    60 The source code files use the same style and they have '.cc' extension.
    61 
    62 \code
    63 source_code.cc
    64 \endcode
    65 
    66 \subsection cs-class Classes and other types
    67 
    68 The name of a class or any type should look like the following.
    69 
    70 \code
    71 AllWordsCapitalizedWithoutUnderscores
    72 \endcode
    73 
    74 \subsection cs-func Methods and other functions
    75 
    76 The name of a function should look like the following.
    77 
    78 \code
    79 firstWordLowerCaseRestCapitalizedWithoutUnderscores
    80 \endcode
    81 
    82 \subsection cs-funcs Constants, Macros
    83 
    84 The names of constants and macros should look like the following.
    85 
    86 \code
    87 ALL_UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES
    88 \endcode
    89 
    90 \subsection cs-loc-var Class and instance member variables, auto variables
    91 
    92 The names of class and instance member variables and auto variables
    93 (=variables used locally in methods) should look like the following.
    94 
    95 \code
    96 all_lower_case_with_underscores
    97 \endcode
    98 
    99 \subsection pri-loc-var Private member variables
   100 
   101 Private member variables should start with underscore
   102 
   103 \code
   104 _start_with_underscores
   105 \endcode
   106 
   107 \subsection cs-excep Exceptions
   108 
   109 When writing exceptions please comply the following naming conventions.
   110 
   111 \code
   112 ClassNameEndsWithException
   113 \endcode
   114 
   115 or
   116 
   117 \code
   118 ClassNameEndsWithError
   119 \endcode
   120 
   121 \section header-template Template Header File
   122 
   123 Each LEMON header file should look like this:
   124 
   125 \include template.h
   126 
   127 */
