10. Miscellaneous Coding Guidelines
-
-
+The coding guidelines for the C/C++ source code are pretty much K&R C style. +The style can be inferred from the existing code base and is +largely dictated by the indent code beautifier tool set to K&R style. +The code can formatted using the make targets in the Source directory. +Below is an example of how to format the emit.cxx file: +
+ +++ ++$ cd Source +$ make beautify-file INDENTFILE=Modules/emit.cxx ++
+Of particular note is indentation is set to 2 spaces and a tab is used instead of 8 spaces. +The generated C/C++ code should also follow this style as close as possible. However, tabs +should be avoided as unlike the SWIG developers, users will never have consistent tab settings. +
