<h1>Coding Style</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Mesa is over 20 years old and the coding style has evolved over time.
|
||||
Some old parts use a style that's a bit out of date.
|
||||
|
||||
Different sections of mesa can use different coding style as set in the local
|
||||
EditorConfig (.editorconfig) and/or Emacs (.dir-locals.el) file.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively the following is applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
If the guidelines below don't cover something, try following the format of
|
||||
existing, neighboring code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Basic formatting guidelines
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>3-space indentation, no tabs.
|
||||
<li>Limit lines to 78 or fewer characters. The idea is to prevent line
|
||||
wrapping in 80-column editors and terminals. There are exceptions, such
|
||||
as if you're defining a large, static table of information.
|
||||
<li>Opening braces go on the same line as the if/for/while statement.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
if (condition) {
|
||||
foo;
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
bar;
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Put a space before/after operators. For example, <tt>a = b + c;</tt>
|
||||
and not <tt>a=b+c;</tt>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>This GNU indent command generally does the right thing for formatting:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
indent -br -i3 -npcs --no-tabs infile.c -o outfile.c
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Use comments wherever you think it would be helpful for other developers.
|
||||
Several specific cases and style examples follow. Note that we roughly
|
||||
follow <a href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/">Doxygen</a> conventions.
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Single-line comments:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/* null-out pointer to prevent dangling reference below */
|
||||
bufferObj = NULL;
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Or,
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
bufferObj = NULL; /* prevent dangling reference below */
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Multi-line comment:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/* If this is a new buffer object id, or one which was generated but
|
||||
* never used before, allocate a buffer object now.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
We try to quote the OpenGL specification where prudent:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/* Page 38 of the PDF of the OpenGL ES 3.0 spec says:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* "An INVALID_OPERATION error is generated for any of the following
|
||||
* conditions:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* * <length> is zero."
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Additionally, page 94 of the PDF of the OpenGL 4.5 core spec
|
||||
* (30.10.2014) also says this, so it's no longer allowed for desktop GL,
|
||||
* either.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Function comment example:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* Create and initialize a new buffer object. Called via the
|
||||
* ctx->Driver.CreateObject() driver callback function.
|
||||
* \param name integer name of the object
|
||||
* \param type one of GL_FOO, GL_BAR, etc.
|
||||
* \return pointer to new object or NULL if error
|
||||
*/
|
||||
struct gl_object *
|
||||
_mesa_create_object(GLuint name, GLenum type)
|
||||
{
|
||||
/* function body */
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Put the function return type and qualifiers on one line and the function
|
||||
name and parameters on the next, as seen above. This makes it easy to use
|
||||
<code>grep ^function_name dir/*</code> to find function definitions. Also,
|
||||
the opening brace goes on the next line by itself (see above.)
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Function names follow various conventions depending on the type of function:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
glFooBar() - a public GL entry point (in glapi_dispatch.c)
|
||||
_mesa_FooBar() - the internal immediate mode function
|
||||
save_FooBar() - retained mode (display list) function in dlist.c
|
||||
foo_bar() - a static (private) function
|
||||
_mesa_foo_bar() - an internal non-static Mesa function
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Constants, macros and enumerant names are ALL_UPPERCASE, with _ between
|
||||
words.
|
||||
<li>Mesa usually uses camel case for local variables (Ex: "localVarname")
|
||||
while gallium typically uses underscores (Ex: "local_var_name").
|
||||
<li>Global variables are almost never used because Mesa should be thread-safe.
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Booleans. Places that are not directly visible to the GL API
|
||||
should prefer the use of <tt>bool</tt>, <tt>true</tt>, and
|
||||
<tt>false</tt> over <tt>GLboolean</tt>, <tt>GL_TRUE</tt>, and
|
||||
<tt>GL_FALSE</tt>. In C code, this may mean that
|
||||
<tt>#include <stdbool.h></tt> needs to be added. The
|
||||
<tt>try_emit_</tt>* methods in src/mesa/program/ir_to_mesa.cpp and
|
||||
src/mesa/state_tracker/st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp can serve as examples.
