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