JOS CODING STANDARDS It's easier on everyone if all authors working on a shared code base are consistent in the way they write their programs. We have the following conventions in our code: * No space after the name of a function in a call For example, printf("hello") not printf ("hello"). * One space after keywords "if", "for", "while", "switch". For example, if (x) not if(x). * Space before braces. For example, if (x) { not if (x){. * Function names are all lower-case separated by underscores. * Preprocessor macros are always UPPERCASE. There are a few grandfathered exceptions: assert, panic, static_assert, offsetof. * Pointer types have spaces: (uint16_t *) not (uint16_t*). * Multi-word names are lower_case_with_underscores. * Comments in imported code are usually C /* ... */ comments. Comments in new code are C++ style //. * In a function definition, the function name starts a new line. Then you can grep -n '^foo' */*.c to find the definition of foo. * Functions that take no arguments are declared f(void) not f(). The included .dir-locals.el file will automatically set up the basic indentation style in Emacs.
