     1= Coding Style =
     2
     3= General rules =
     4
     5 - Code lines should not be longer than 80 characters
     6 - The formatting in general should be something similar to that Emacs C++-mode does by default. I.e.
     7   - use two spaces for indenting.

     9== Naming Conventions ==
     10
     11In order to make development easier we have made some conventions
     12according to coding style. These include names of types, classes,
     13functions, variables, constants and exceptions. If these conventions
     14are met in one's code then it is easier to read and maintain
     15it. Please comply with these conventions if you want to contribute
     16developing LEMON library.
     17
     18'''Note:''' When the coding style requires the capitalization of an abbreviation,
     19only the first letter should be upper case.
     20
     21{{{
     22#!cpp
     23XmlReader
     24}}}
     25
     26
     27'''Warning:''' In some cases we diverge from these rules.
     28This is primary done because STL uses different naming convention and
     29in certain cases
     30it is beneficial to provide STL compatible interface.
     31
     32=== File names ===
     33
     34The header file names should look like the following.
     35
     36{{{
     37#!cpp
     38header_file.h
     39}}}
     40
     41Note that all standard LEMON headers are located in the {{{lemon}}} subdirectory,
     42so you should include them from C++ source like this:
     43
     44{{{
     45#!cpp
     46#include <lemon/header_file.h>
     47}}}
     48
     49The source code files use the same style and they have '.cc' extension.
     50
     51{{{
     52#!cpp
     53source_code.cc
     54}}}
     55
     56=== Classes and other types ===
     57

     81}}}
     82
     83=== Class and instance member variables, auto variables ===
     84
     85The names of class and instance member variables and auto variables (=variables used locally in methods) should look like the following.
     86
     87{{{
     88#!cpp
     89all_lower_case_with_underscores
     90}}}

     93
     94Private member variables should start with underscore
     95

     117== Template header file ==
     118
     119Each LEMON header file should look like this:
