Dear all,
I am the author of the SoXPlugins that mirror some of the SoX
functionality in audio workstations, so I am very grateful that SoX
development is revived!
Because I would like to contribute to this project, I like to
know some of the code and project guidelines:
* What is the preferred code style? I fully understand that one
tries to mimic the original code style as much as possible, but
since the have been several contributors over the time, there is
no real consistency.
My proposal: K&R style
* What is the C standard to be adhered to? Is is C99 or something
later?
My proposal: C99 (because it should be supported by most of the
target architectures as opposed to newer standards)
* Is there some guideline for the code documentation? One could use
something like doxygen to produce readable internal documentation
from the code, but, of course, has to adapt the code documentation
accordingly.
My proposal: doxygen
What do you think?
* I would prefer _not to have_ executable source code in header
files. This might impede efficiency, because optimization might
not work, but there is a remedy for that: put the executable
source code in some "xxx.c-inc" file and - depending on the build
configuration - either include it into the xxx.h file or include
it into the xxx.c file.
Do we want this technique to be used?
* Do we want to put some substructure in the src directory (like
e.g. effects, formats, basetypes etc.)? This makes includes a bit
more tedious, but in my opinion this is helpful.
* There are several build-techniques used: makefiles, CMake, msvc
etc. First of all, I would prefer to have those in some build or
buildSetup directory on top level.
CMake has the big advantage that it generates the build files:
hence one can throw away all the MS vcxproj and sln files and also
the makefiles.
Well a lot of questions...
Best regards,
Prof. Spock
