Friendly greetings (again) ! I'm planning to patch all perl file in the postgresql source tree. But i can't find any rules other than : set tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 noexpandtab
It could be nice to define the perl coding style of postgresql somewhere on a wiki. Here is a few questions : - What is the oldest perl version that we should support ? - Do we use the sames rules for "tools" and "contribs" (eg : use strict) ? - is there any obvious rules other than "use strict" ? - Should we support Win32 platform in perl tools use by developpers (eg : check_keywords.pl) ? (that include the "\" vs "/" problem in file path) - What about dependencies of external perl modules ? - I'm used to heavily comment my code... should i do that here too ? it's hard to define "coding style" when talking about perl :) I will happily patch all perl files ( according to http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch ) once the most basic rule are defined :) *hugs* -- Laurent Laborde Sysadmin at jfg://networks http://www.over-blog.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
