alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \section naming_conv Naming Conventions
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: In order to make development easier we have made some conventions
alpar@40: according to coding style. These include names of types, classes,
alpar@40: functions, variables, constants and exceptions. If these conventions
alpar@40: are met in one's code then it is easier to read and maintain
alpar@40: it. Please comply with these conventions if you want to contribute
alpar@40: developing LEMON library.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \note When the coding style requires the capitalization of an abbreviation,
alpar@40: only the first letter should be upper case.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: XmlReader
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \warning In some cases we diverge from these rules.
alpar@41: This is primary done because STL uses different naming convention and
alpar@40: in certain cases
alpar@40: it is beneficial to provide STL compatible interface.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \subsection cs-files File Names
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The header file names should look like the following.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: header_file.h
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: Note that all standard LEMON headers are located in the \c lemon subdirectory,
alpar@40: so you should include them from C++ source like this:
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: #include <lemon/header_file.h>
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The source code files use the same style and they have '.cc' extension.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: source_code.cc
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \subsection cs-class Classes and other types
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The name of a class or any type should look like the following.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@209: AllWordsCapitalizedWithoutUnderscores
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \subsection cs-func Methods and other functions
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The name of a function should look like the following.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@209: firstWordLowerCaseRestCapitalizedWithoutUnderscores
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \subsection cs-funcs Constants, Macros
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: The names of constants and macros should look like the following.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@209: ALL_UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@209: \subsection cs-loc-var Class and instance member variables, auto variables
alpar@40: 
alpar@210: The names of class and instance member variables and auto variables
alpar@210: (=variables used locally in methods) should look like the following.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@209: all_lower_case_with_underscores
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@41: \subsection pri-loc-var Private member variables
alpar@41: 
kpeter@1023: Private member variables should start with underscore.
alpar@41: 
alpar@41: \code
kpeter@1023: _start_with_underscore
alpar@41: \endcode
alpar@41: 
alpar@40: \subsection cs-excep Exceptions
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: When writing exceptions please comply the following naming conventions.
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: ClassNameEndsWithException
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: or
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \code
alpar@40: ClassNameEndsWithError
alpar@40: \endcode
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \section header-template Template Header File
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: Each LEMON header file should look like this:
alpar@40: 
alpar@40: \include template.h
alpar@40:
