\section naming_conv Naming Conventions |
| alpar@507 | 6 |
|
| alpar@667 | 7 |
In order to make development easier we have made some conventions |
| alpar@667 | 8 |
according to coding style. These include names of types, classes, |
| alpar@667 | 9 |
functions, variables, constants and exceptions. If these conventions |
| alpar@667 | 10 |
are met in one's code then it is easier to read and maintain |
| alpar@667 | 11 |
it. Please comply with these conventions if you want to contribute |
| alpar@921 | 12 |
developing LEMON library. |

| alpar@955 | 14 |
\warning In some cases we diverge from these rules. |
| alpar@955 | 15 |
This primary done because STL uses different naming convention and |
| alpar@955 | 16 |
in certain cases |
| alpar@955 | 17 |
it is beneficial to provide STL compatible interface. |

\subsection cs-files File Names |
| alpar@955 | 20 |
|
| alpar@955 | 21 |
The header file names should look like the following. |
| alpar@955 | 22 |
|
| alpar@955 | 23 |
\code |
| alpar@955 | 24 |
header_file.h |
| alpar@955 | 25 |
\endcode |
| alpar@955 | 26 |
|
| alpar@1083 | 27 |
Note that all standard LEMON headers are located in the \c lemon subdirectory, |
| alpar@955 | 28 |
so you should include them from C++ source like this: |
| alpar@955 | 29 |
|
| alpar@955 | 30 |
\code |
| alpar@955 | 31 |
#include <lemon/header_file.h> |
| alpar@955 | 32 |
\endcode |
| alpar@955 | 33 |
|
| alpar@955 | 34 |
The source code files use the same style and they have '.cc' extension. |
| alpar@955 | 35 |
|
| alpar@955 | 36 |
\code |
| alpar@955 | 37 |
source_code.cc |

|
| alpar@991 | 90 |
\include template.h |
| alpar@991 | 91 |
