Code Style

</h2>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Introduction
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The source code of Scintilla and SciTE follow my preferences.
|
|
Some of these decisions are arbitrary and based on my sense of aesthetics
|
|
but its good to have all the code look the same even if its not exactly how
|
|
everyone would prefer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Code that does not follow these conventions will be accepted, but will be modified
|
|
as time goes by to fit the conventions. Scintilla code follows the conventions more
|
|
closely than SciTE except for lexers which are relatively independent modules.
|
|
Lexers that are maintained by others are left as they are submitted except that
|
|
warnings will be fixed so the whole project can compile cleanly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/">AStyle</a> formatting
|
|
program with '-taOHUKk3 -M8' arguments formats code in much the right way although
|
|
there are a few bugs in AStyle.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Language features
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Design goals for Scintilla and SciTE include portability to currently available C++
|
|
compilers on diverse platforms with high performance and low resource usage.
|
|
Scintilla has stricter portability requirements to SciTE as it may be ported to
|
|
low capability platforms.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To achieve portability, only a subset of C++ features are used.
|
|
Exceptions and templates may be used but, since Scintilla can be used from C as well as
|
|
C++, exceptions may not be thrown out of Scintilla and all exceptions should be caught
|
|
before returning from Scintilla.
|
|
Run-time type information adds to memory use so is turned off.
|
|
A 'Scintilla' name spaces is optionally used based on the SCI_NAMESPACE
|
|
definition. This helps with name clashes on OS X.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The goto statement is not used because of bad memories from my first job
|
|
maintaining FORTRAN programs. The union feature is not used as it can lead to
|
|
non-type-safe value access.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Casting
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Do not use old C style casts like (char *)s. Instead use the most strict form of C++
|
|
cast possible like const_cast<char *>(s). Use static_cast and const_cast
|
|
where possible rather than reinterpret_cast. Because the code is compiled with
|
|
run-time type information turned off, dynamic_cast will not work.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The benefit to using the new style casts is that they explicitly detail what evil is
|
|
occurring and act as signals that something potentially unsafe is being done.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Code that treats const seriously is easier to reason about both for humans
|
|
and compilers, so use const parameters and avoid const_cast.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Warnings
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To help ensure code is well written and portable, it is compiled with almost all
|
|
warnings turned on. This sometimes results in warnings about code that is
|
|
completely good (false positives) but changing the code to avoid the warnings
|
|
is generally fast and has little impact on readability.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Initialise all variables and minimise the scope of variables. If a variable is defined
|
|
just before its use then it can't be misused by code before that point.
|
|
Use loop declarations that are compatible with both the C++ standard and currently
|
|
available compilers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Allocation
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Memory exhaustion can occur in many Scintilla methods.
|
|
This should be checked for and handled but once it has happened, it is very difficult to do
|
|
anything as Scintilla's data structures may be in an inconsistent state.
|
|
Fixed length buffers are often used as these are simple and avoid the need to
|
|
worry about memory exhaustion but then require that buffer lengths are
|
|
respected.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The C++ new and delete operators are preferred over C's malloc and free
|
|
as new and delete are type safe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
Bracketing
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Start brackets, '{', should be located on the line of the control structure they
|
|
start and end brackets, '}', should be at the indented start of a line. When there is
|
|
an else clause, this occurs on the same line as the '}'.
|
|
This format uses less lines than alternatives, allowing more code to be seen on screen.
|
|
Fully bracketed control
|
|
structures are preferred because this makes it more likely that modifications will
|
|
be correct and it allows Scintilla's folder to work. No braces on returned
|
|
expressions as return is a keyword, not a function call.
|
|

No space after '*' when used to mean pointer and no space after '[' or ']'.

<h3>
|
|
Names
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Identifiers use mixed case and no underscores.
|
|
Class, function and method names start with an uppercase letter and use
|
|
further upper case letters to distinguish words. Variables start with a lower
|
|
case letter and use upper case letters to distinguish words.
|
|
Loop counters and similar variables can have simple names like 'i'.
|
|
Function calls should be differentiated from method calls with an initial '::'
|
|
global scope modifier.
|
