1CODING-STANDARTS FOR ORXONOX
2-==============--==---+++++-
3In this file it is described how a orxonox-developer should structure his code.
4Every developer has to read it and follow the rules, and orxonox will grow.

121.Coding Conventions
13====================
14==> If you are beginning a new code-file: copy the proto_class.{cc,h}
15==> and work with these files.
16
171.1.What has to be there:
18-------------------------
19  a) in every code file, there must be a GNU copyright header.
20
21  b) under the (c) header write your name as main-programmer, if
22     you are just bugfixing or extending write it under co-programmer.
23
24  c) Every element of the must be documented with doxygen-tags.
25
261.2.Doxygen Tags:
27-----------------
28Doxygen tags in general are comments inside a file, that look just a bit different.
29most of the time they extend the /* or // with a second star or a !
30
31  a) h-files:
32   1) every h-file you want to be documented you have to tag. (tag looks like /*! \file somefile */ )
33   2) every class has to be Documented. ( //! what it does)
34   3) special variables can be documented. ( //!< wow this member is cool because )
35
36  b) cc-files:
37   1) all the methods must be documented, and all their parameters and return value must be covered.
38
39  c) look out for this: Doxygen parses preprocessor arguments,
40     so if some comments is excluded by a #ifdef, #endif
41     doxygen will not parse it. And ther will be nothing in the docu.

442.How to format your Code
45=========================
46We use the GNU conding convention (which is also used in xemacs etc.):
47
48-- Put a space after every comma.
49-- Put a space before the parenthesis that begins a function call,
50   macro call, function declaration or definition, or control
51   statement (if, while, switch, for). (DO NOT do this for macro
52   definitions; this is invalid preprocessor syntax.)
53-- The brace that begins a control statement (if, while, for, switch,
54   do) or a function definition should go on a line by itself.
55-- In function definitions, put the return type and all other
56   qualifiers on a line before the function name.  Thus, the function
57   name is always at the beginning of a line.
58-- Indentation level is two spaces.  (However, the first and following
59   statements of a while/for/if/etc. block are indented four spaces
60   from the while/for/if keyword.  The opening and closing braces are
61   indented two spaces.)
62-- Variable and function names should be all lowercase, with underscores
63   separating words, except for a prefixing tag, which may be in
64   uppercase.  Do not use the mixed-case convention (e.g.
65   SetVariableToValue ()) and *especially* do not use Microsoft
66   Hungarian notation (char **rgszRedundantTag).
67-- preprocessor and enum constants should be all uppercase, and should
68   be prefixed with a tag that groups related constants together.

77A standard header has the same name as the Class it handles.
