1 Storage Module Style Guidelines |
|
2 |
|
3 These guidelines should be followed for all new code in this module. Reviewers |
|
4 will be enforcing them, so please obey them! |
|
5 |
|
6 * All code should be contained within the namespace mozilla::storage at a |
|
7 minimum. The use of namespaces is strongly encouraged. |
|
8 |
|
9 * All functions being called in the global namespace should be prefixed with |
|
10 "::" to indicate that they are in the global namespace. |
|
11 |
|
12 * The indentation level to use in source code is two spaces. No tabs, please! |
|
13 |
|
14 * All files should have the following emacs and vim mode lines: |
|
15 -*- Mode: C++; tab-width: 2; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 2 -*- |
|
16 vim: sw=2 ts=2 et lcs=trail\:.,tab\:>~ : |
|
17 |
|
18 * All functions that are not XPCOM should start with a lowercase letter. |
|
19 |
|
20 * Function arguments that are not out parameters should be prefixed with a (for |
|
21 pArameter), and use CamelCase. |
|
22 |
|
23 * Function arguments that are out parameters should be prefixed with an |
|
24 underscore and have a descriptive name. |
|
25 |
|
26 * Function declarations should include javadoc style comments. |
|
27 |
|
28 * Javadoc @param tags should have the parameter description start on a new line |
|
29 aligned with the variable name. See the example below. |
|
30 |
|
31 * Javadoc @return (note: non-plural) continuation lines should be lined up with |
|
32 the initial comment. See the example below. |
|
33 |
|
34 * Javadoc @throws, like @param, should have the exception type on the same line |
|
35 as the @throws and the description on a new line indented to line up with |
|
36 the type of the exception. |
|
37 |
|
38 * For function implementations, each argument should be on its own line. |
|
39 |
|
40 * All variables should use camelCase. |
|
41 |
|
42 * The use of bool is encouraged whenever the variable does not have the |
|
43 potential to go through xpconnect. |
|
44 |
|
45 * For pointer variable types, include a space after the type before the asterisk |
|
46 and no space between the asterisk and variable name. |
|
47 |
|
48 * If any part of an if-else block requires braces, all blocks need braces. |
|
49 |
|
50 * Every else should be on a newline after a brace. |
|
51 |
|
52 * Bracing should start on the line after a function and class definition. This |
|
53 goes for JavaScript code as well as C++ code. |
|
54 |
|
55 * If a return value is not going to be checked, the return value should be |
|
56 explicitly casted to void (C style cast). |
|
57 |
|
