Lane. +This file is part of the Independent JPEG Group's software. +For conditions of distribution and use, see the accompanying README file. + + +Since numerous people will be contributing code and bug fixes, it's important +to establish a common coding style. The goal of using similar coding styles +is much more important than the details of just what that style is. + +In general we follow the recommendations of "Recommended C Style and Coding +Standards" revision 6.1 (Cannon et al. as modified by Spencer, Keppel and +Brader). This document is available in the IJG FTP archive (see +jpeg/doc/cstyle.ms.tbl.Z, or cstyle.txt.Z for those without nroff/tbl). + +Block comments should be laid out thusly: + +/* + * Block comments in this style. + */ + +We indent statements in K&R style, e.g., + if (test) { + then-part; + } else { + else-part; + } +with two spaces per indentation level. (This indentation convention is +handled automatically by GNU Emacs and many other text editors.) + +Multi-word names should be written in lower case with underscores, e.g., +multi_word_name (not multiWordName). Preprocessor symbols and enum constants +are similar but upper case (MULTI_WORD_NAME). Names should be unique within +the first fifteen characters. (On some older systems, global names must be +unique within six characters. We accommodate this without cluttering the +source code by using macros to substitute shorter names.) + +We use function prototypes everywhere; we rely on automatic source code +transformation to feed prototype-less C compilers. Transformation is done +by the simple and portable tool 'ansi2knr.c' (courtesy of Ghostscript). +ansi2knr is not very bright, so it imposes a format retquirement on function +declarations: the function name MUST BEGIN IN COLUMN 1. Thus all functions +should be written in the following style: + +LOCAL(int *) +function_name (int a, char *b) +{ + code... +} + +Note that each function definition must begin with GLOBAL(type), LOCAL(type), +or METHODDEF(type). These macros expand to "static type" or just "type" as +appropriate. They provide a readable indication of the routine's usage and +can readily be changed for special needs. (For instance, special linkage +keywords can be inserted for use in Windows DLLs.) + +ansi2knr does not transform method declarations (function pointers in +structs). We handle these with a macro JMETHOD, defined as + #ifdef HAVE_PROTOTYPES + #define JMETHOD(type,methodname,arglist) type (*methodname) arglist + #else + #define JMETHOD(type,methodname,arglist) type (*methodname) () + #endif +which is used like this: + struct function_pointers { + JMETHOD(void, init_entropy_encoder, (int somearg, jparms *jp)); + JMETHOD(void, term_entropy_encoder, (void)); + }; +Note the set of parentheses surrounding the parameter list. + +A similar solution is used for forward and external function declarations +(see the EXTERN and JPP macros). + +If the code is to work on non-ANSI compilers, we cannot rely on a prototype +declaration to coerce actual parameters into the right types. Therefore, use +explicit casts on actual parameters whenever the actual parameter type is not +identical to the formal parameter. Beware of implicit conversions to "int". + +It seems there are some non-ANSI compilers in which the sizeof() operator +is defined to return int, yet size_t is defined as long. Needless to say, +this is brain-damaged. Always use the SIZEOF() macro in place of sizeof(), +so that the result is guaranteed to be of type size_t. + + +The JPEG library is intended to be used within larger programs. Furthermore, +we want it to be reentrant so that it can be used by applications that process +multiple images concurrently. The following rules support these retquirements: + +1. Avoid direct use of file I/O, "malloc", error report printouts, etc; +pass these through the common routines provided. + +2. Minimize global namespace pollution. Functions should be declared static +wherever possible. (Note that our method-based calling conventions help this +a lot: in many modules only the initialization function will ever need to be +called directly, so only that function need be externally visible.) All +global function names should begin with "jpeg_", and should have an +abbreviated name (unique in the first six characters) substituted by macro +when NEED_SHORT_EXTERNAL_NAMES is set. + +3. Don't use global variables; anything that must be used in another module +should be in the common data structures. + +4. Don't use static variables except for read-only constant tables. Variables +that should be private to a module can be placed into private structures (see +the system architecture document, structure.doc). + +5. Source file names should begin with "j" for files that are part of the +library proper; source files that are not part of the library, such as cjpeg.c +and djpeg.c, do not begin with "j". Keep source file names to eight +characters (plus ".c" or ".h", etc) to make life easy for MS-DOSers. Keep +compression and decompression code in separate source files --- some +applications may want only one half of the library. + +Note: these rules (particularly #4) are not followed religiously in the +modules that are used in cjpeg/djpeg but are not part of the JPEG library +proper. Those modules are not really intended to be used in other +applications. |
