Citra is a brand new project, so we have a great opportunity to keep things clean and well organized early on. As such, coding style is very important when making commits. They aren't very strict rules since we want to be flexible and we understand that under certain circumstances some of them can be counterproductive. Just try to follow as many of them as possible:
|
|
|
|
### General Rules
|
|
* A lot of code was taken from other projects (e.g. Dolphin, PPSSPP, Gekko, SkyEye). In general, when editing other people's code, follow the style of the module you're in (or better yet, fix the style if it drastically differs from our guide).
|
|
* Line width is typically 100 characters, but this isn't strictly enforced. Please do not use 80-characters.
|
|
* Don't ever introduce new external dependencies into Core
|
|
* Don't use any platform specific code in Core
|
|
* Use namespaces often
|
|
* Avoid the use of C-style casts and instead prefer C++-style `static_cast` and `reinterpret_cast`. Never use `const_cast` or `dynamic_cast` (we build with RTTI disabled). The only exception to this rule is for casting between two numeric types, where C-style casts are encouraged for brevity and readability.
|
|
|
|
### Naming Rules
|
|
* Functions: `PascalCase`
|
|
* Variables: `lower_case_underscored`. Prefix with `g_` if global.
|
|
* Classes: `PascalCase`
|
|
* Files and Directories: `lower_case_underscored`
|
|
* Namespaces: `PascalCase`, `_` may also be used for clarity (e.g. `ARM_InitCore`)
|
|
|
|
### Indentation/Whitespace Style
|
|
Follow the indentation/whitespace style shown below. Do not use tabs, use 4-spaces instead.
|
|
|
|
### Comments
|
|
* For regular comments, use C++ style (`//`) comments, even for multi-line ones.
|
|
* For doc-comments (Doxygen comments), use `/// ` if it's a single line, else use the `/**` `*/` style featured in the example. Start the text on the second line, not the first containing `/**`.
|
|
* For items that are both defined and declared in two separate files, put the doc-comment only next to the associated declaration. (In a header file, usually.) Otherwise, put it next to the implementation. Never duplicate doc-comments in both places.
|

```cpp
|
|
namespace Example {
|
|
|
|
// Namespace contents are not indented
|
|
|
|
// Declare globals at the top
|
|
int g_foo = 0;
|
|
char* g_some_pointer; // Pointer * and reference & stick to the type name
|
|
|
|
/// A colorful enum.
|
|
enum SomeEnum {
|
|
COLOR_RED, ///< The color of fire.
|
|
COLOR_GREEN, ///< The color of grass.
|
|
COLOR_BLUE, ///< Not actually the color of water.
|
|
};

* Very important struct that does a lot of stuff.
