Coding conventions

• Class : capitalized, no separator → MyClass
• Method : 1st word lower case, the other capitalized, no separator → myMethod()
• Variables : lower case, separator _, more than 3 letters except for loop counters → my_variable
• File names : lower case, separator , extension .hh .cc, same name as the class → my_class.hh
• Inline function : outside the class definition in headers in a file called filename_inline_impl.cc and included in the header file
• Documentation comment : Doxygen

Help tools for emacs

• to have doxygen comments you can use the doxymacs-mode to add in the .emacs
  • to auto load the mode in c/c++ files
    
    (require 'doxymacs) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'doxymacs-mode) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'doxymacs-mode)
  • in the (custom-set-variables) add this lines to generate the files headers (C-c d i)
    
    '(doxymacs-doxygen-style "JavaDoc") '(doxymacs-file-comment-template (quote ("/**" > n " * " (doxymacs-doxygen-command-char) "file " (if (buffer-file-name) (file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name)) "") > n " * " (doxymacs-doxygen-command-char) "author " (user-full-name) (doxymacs-user-mail-address) > n " * " (doxymacs-doxygen-command-char) "date " (current-time-string) > n " *" > n " * " (doxymacs-doxygen-command-char) "brief " (p "Brief description of this file: ") > n " *" > n " * " (doxymacs-doxygen-command-char) "section LICENSE" > n " *" > n " * <insert license here>" > n " *" > n " */" > n > n "/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */" > n)))
• for the snippet code you can use yasnippet some specific snippet files for akantu can be found in the *snippet/* directory
  
  (require 'yasnippet) (yas/initialize) (yas/load-directory "~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets")
  
  (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'yas/minor-mode-on) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'yas/minor-mode-on)
  
  You need to copy the snippets for Akantu dev into the appropriate directory.
  
  depending on your version of yasnippet the snippet directories are not arranged in the same way
  
  c++-mode snippet akantu (opening and closing akantu namespace) inout (debug in/out for functions) class (class declaration) cc-mode snippet (common to c and c++) once (define protection for .hh files) for (for loop)

To know your orgnisation type have a look into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/yasnippet/snippets/
Then copy the the file provided in the doc directory either by:


   
 cp -r /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/yasnippet ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet
 cp $AKANTU_DIR/doc/coding_convention/snippet/akantu ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets/text-mode/cc-mode/c++-mode/
 cp $AKANTU_DIR/doc/coding_convention/snippet/inout ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets/text-mode/cc-mode/c++-mode/	
 cp $AKANTU_DIR/doc/coding_convention/snippet/class ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets/text-mode/cc-mode/c++-mode/	
 cp $AKANTU_DIR/doc/coding_convention/snippet/once ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets/text-mode/cc-mode/
 cp $AKANTU_DIR/doc/coding_convention/snippet/for ~/.emacs.d/yasnippet/snippets/text-mode/cc-mode/
