++C/C++ coding style\r
++==================\r
++\r
++Tools\r
++-----\r
++\r
++There is a file uncrustify.cfg in this directory that can be used to\r
++approximate the prevailing code style. You can run it with e.g.\r
++\r
++ uncrustify --replace -c devel/uncrustify.cfg foo.c\r
++\r
++You still have to use your judgement about accepting or rejecting the\r
++changes uncrustify makes. With a nice git frontend, you can add the\r
++lines you agree with and reject the rest.\r
++\r
++For Emacs users, the file .dir-locals.el in the top level source\r
++directory will configure c-mode to automatically meet most of the\r
++basic layout rules. I\r
++\r
++Indentation, Whitespace, and Layout\r
++-----------------------------------\r
++\r
++The following nonsense code demonstrates many aspects of the style:\r
++\r
++static some_type\r
++function (param_type param, param_type param)\r
++{\r
++ int i;\r
++\r
++ for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {\r
++ int j;\r
++\r
++ j = i + 10;\r
++\r
++ some_other_func (j, i);\r
++ }\r
++}\r
++\r
++* Indent is 4 spaces with mixed tabs/spaces and a tab width of 8.\r
++ Tabs should be only at the beginning of the line.\r
++\r
++* Use copious whitespace. In particular\r
++ - there is a space between the function name and the open paren in a call.\r
++ - likewise, there is a space following keywords such as if and while\r
++ - every binary operator should have space on either side.\r
++\r
++* No trailing whitespace. Please enable the standard pre-commit hook\r
++ in git (or an equivalent hook).\r
++\r
++* The name in a function prototype should start at the beginning of a line.\r
++\r
++* Opening braces "cuddle" (they are on the same line as the\r
++ if/for/while test) and are preceded by a space. The opening brace of\r
++ functions is the exception, and starts on a new line.\r
++\r
++* Comments are always C-style /* */ block comments. They should start\r
++ with a capital letter and generally be written in complete\r
++ sentences. Public library functions are documented immediately\r
++ before their prototype in lib/notmuch.h. Internal functions are\r
++ typically documented immediately before their definition.\r
++\r
++* Code lines should be less than 80 columns and comments should be\r
++ wrapped at 70 columns.\r
++\r
++Naming\r
++------\r
++\r
++* Use lowercase_with_underscores for function, variable, and type\r
++ names.\r
++\r
++* All structs should be typedef'd to a name ending with _t. If the\r
++ struct has a tag, it should be the same as the typedef name, minus\r
++ the trailing _t.\r
++\r
++libnotmuch conventions\r
++----------------------------------\r
++\r
++* Functions starting with notmuch_ in lib/notmuch.h are public and are\r
++ automatically exported from the shared library. Private library\r
++ functions should generally either be static or, if they are shared\r
++ between compilation units, start with _notmuch.\r
++\r
++* Functions in libnotmuch must not access user configuration files\r
++ (i.e. .notmuch-config)\r
++\r
++* Code which needs to be accessed from both the CLI and from\r
++ libnotmuch should be factored out into libutil (under util/).\r
