GENERAL
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
General notes and rules on clutter core hacking;
|
|
|
|
- GNU style indentation, please wrap at 80 chars.
|
|
|
|
- All non static public API funcs should be documented in the source files
|
|
via gtk-doc. Structures, enumerations and macros should be documented in
|
|
the header files.
|
|
|
|
- All non-trivial static and private API should be documented, especially
|
|
the eventual lifetime handling of the arguments/return values or locking
|
|
of mutexes.
|
|
|
|
- All public functions with float parameters should also provide a fixed
|
|
point version. Fixed point should be used internally.
|
|
|
|
- Properties should always be float (never fixed).
|
|
|
|
- API funcs should always check their arguments with g_return_*().
|
|
|
|
- Really try to avoid if possible additions to clutter-private.h
|
|
|
|
- Don't add direct GL calls but wrap with cogl (also adding GL ES Version)
|
|
|
|
- Use CLUTTER_NOTE() macro for debug statements.
|
|
|
|
- New features should also include an exhaustive test in tests/
|
|
|
|
|
