Hello All, I read something recently with regard to the FLTK coding standard. I believe there was a comment that indicated the displeasure of many developers with the current coding standard. It went on to site the reason for the fact that no change had been made due to the lack of a volunteer to make the changes. Since the FLA work will ultimately touch, or at the very least, review, each source file, we would like to help this along. We propose using one of the many available beautifier tools. This would allow the possibility of the tool being used to enforce the coding standard. Some form of automation may even be possible.
We would like to propose the following: 1. Collect the input of all FLTK developers creating a list of all proposed changes. 2. Maintain and publish a tally of all proposed changes. 3. Rinse and repeat until the group agrees. 4. Implement the new standard in the form of a beautifier configuration. 5. Apply the new standard as we work through the code. 6. Update the standard documentation. Would y'all be willing to work through this with us? Note: We already make heavy use of a beautifier tool, so we are somewhat neutral to the coding standard used. We are simply trying to identify what may be a good opportunity to address this, if y'all would like to. Thanks, Gerry _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
