Edit File: CONTRIBUTING

Guidelines for Contributing: 1) Platform-specific functionality (for example, location of binaries that NetworkManager calls, or functionality used only on some platforms or distribution, like resolvconf) should be configurable at build time, with the normal autoconf mechanisms for putting a #define in config.h (AC_DEFINE), then with #ifdef MY_DEFINE / #endif in the code. 2) Coding standards are generally GNOME coding standards, with these exceptions: a) 4 space tabs (_not_ 8-space tabs) b) REAL tabs (_not_ a mix of tabs and spaces in the initial indent) c) spaces used to align continuation lines past the indent point of the first statement line, like so: if (some_really_really_long_variable_name && another_really_really_long_variable_name) { ... } * Keep a space between the function name and the opening '('. GOOD: g_strdup (x) BAD: g_strdup(x) * C-style comments GOOD: f(x); /* comment */ BAD: f(x); // comment * Keep assignments in the variable declaration area pretty short. GOOD: MyObject *object; BAD: MyObject *object = complex_and_long_init_function(arg1, arg2, arg3); * 80-cols is a guideline, don't make the code uncomfortable in order to fit in less than 80 cols. * Constants are CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES and use the preprocessor. GOOD: #define MY_CONSTANT 42 BAD: static const unsigned myConstant = 42; 3) Legal: All original contributions to NetworkManager are licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later, or, if another license is specified as governing the file or directory being modified, such other license. See the file COPYING in this directory for details.
