Style guide

In general, you should use uncrustify with the uncrustify.ini file from the repo. There are also automatic checks for your PR.

To run uncrustify on all project files:

$ git ls-files | grep "hpp$\|cpp$" | xargs uncrustify -c uncrustify.ini --no-backup

Names

Class, method and variable names are all in snake_case. Class names should end in _t.

File names are all lowercase, with - as word separator. Headers end in .hpp. So, a header could be called this-is-example-header.hpp.

Headers

1. Use #pragma once instead of #ifdef.
