** ** Source tree organization ** ****************************************************** examples/ -> Supposed to be copy/pastable by the user, so keep it clear and avoid any kind of trick. In particular, do only include the public headers here. teshsuite/ -> The more test the better. Put in there any strange test doing things that the users are not supposed to do, just to see if our framework is robust to incorrect and unusual behaviors. All tests written in this section should leverage our tesh(1) utility. ** ** NEW type naming standard in SimGrid4 ** ***************************************************** SimGrid4 will follow the these rules: - filenames are unique in the whole project (because of a bug in Sonar coverage computation) C++ - fields, methods and variables are in snake_case() - Classes and Enum names are in UpperCamelCase - Enum values are in UPPER_SNAKE_CASE (as constants) - public filenames: api_Class.cpp and api/Class.hpp. - Example: src/s4u/s4u_ConditionVariable.cpp and include/simgrid/s4u/ConditionVariable.hpp - If you prefer api_class.cpp, that's OK, too. Breath and relax. Example: src/s4u/s4u_actor.cpp and include/simgrid/s4u/Actor.hpp - internal/kernel filenames: Class.cpp and Class.hpp - Example: src/kernel/activity/Activity.cpp include/simgrid/activity/Activity.hpp C - variables and functions are in snake_case() - typedefs do not hide the pointers, ie * must be explicit char * sg_host_get_name(sg_host_t * host); This is different from the old convention (described below), that should not be used in S4U and its bindings, nor in the kernel. ** ** Commenting the source: doxygen ** **************************************************** The global structure of the documentation is in doc/modules.doc The structure of each module (xbt, msg, etc) is in doc/module-.doc The structure of a module is in its public header. This way, you're sure to see all the public interface (and only it). The different parts of the interface are grouped using the @name construct, even if it's buggy. Since parts often get reordered, it's better to add numbers to the parts (so that users can see the intended order). The documentation of each type and macro are also in the public header since this is were they live. The documentation of each function must be in the C++ file were it lives. Any public element (function, type and macro) must have a @brief part. We use @ as a command marker, not \ (so, use @brief not \brief) ** ** OLD Type naming standard in SimGrid3 ** ***************************************************** SimGrid3 legacy interfaces (ie, MSG and SimDag) are following these rules: - ???_t is a valid type (built with typedef) - s_toto_t is a structure (access to fields with .) - s_toto is a structure needing 'struct' keyword to be used - e_toto_t is an enum - u_toto_t is an union - u_toto is an union needing 'union' keyword to be used - toto_t is an 'object' (struct*) Please to not call toto_t something else than an 'object' (ie, something you have to call _new and _free on it). Example: typedef struct s_toto {} s_toto_t, *toto_t; typedef enum {} e_toto_t; Moreover, only toto_t (and e_toto_t) are public. The rest (mainly s_toto_t) is private. * * SimGrid Hacker Survival Guide (FIXME: should be betterly placed) ******************************** * When you add/remove files, and/or make changes in the lists of files to build, please check that "make distcheck" still succeeds. This is needed to ensure that the generated archive is consistent.
