Code guidelines

[tim-oleksii]

Hello,

Do you have any coding styles?

I see that you've got a couple of styles like

std::list <std::string> ReadFile(const std::string name);

AND

CError NegotiateChannel(std::string tag, UInt32 & channelId);

What is more, sometimes I encounter tabs, sometimes spaces.

Secondly, are there any agreements what should be used for a project? For instance, exception free libraries, pthread as a library from ITC etc.

Hello Oleksii,

1. Yes, we use the code style. But we don’t manage minor things like tabs and spaces, at least we don’t do it mandatory.
2. No, we don’t use exceptions. Using exceptions in embedded systems is often too expensive from resource perspective, therefore we avoid it. It is not a policy, but strict recommendation.
3. We freely use MIT and LGPL components, using of other ones needs detailed legal review. We follow KISS principle and don’t use what we can avoid with minimum of extra efforts. Thanks, Kostia
