        Coding Style Convention
       -------------------------

This document describes the coding style convention
used in KPovModeler.

Author: Andreas Zehender <zehender@kde.org>
Date: 16 June 2001

If you edit existing files or create new ones, please follow this convention.
This ensures that the code is consistent and clear.

1) Indentation
--------------

- Use 3 spaces as basic offset. Do not use tabs for indentation.
- Do not indent access keywords (public, protected, private) as
  well as signal/slot keywords.
- Do not indent braces.
- Put braces in separate lines.
- Indent case statements.

Example:
class abcd
{
public:
   void someMethod( );
};

void abcd::someMethod( )
{
   if( 1 == 2 )
   {
   }
   else
   {
      switch( x )
      {
         case 1:
            y = 2;
            break;
         default:
            y = -2;
      }
   }
}


2) Spacing
----------

Use many spaces.
Use it
- before and after brackets
- before and after operators
- after commas

Examples:

a = someMethod( ); // Notice the space between the brackets!
b = anotherMethod( ( a + b ) / 2, 3 ) || 23456;
if( ( a == 2 ) && !b )


3) Type Modifiers (Pointers and References)
-------------------------------------------

Put type modifiers behind the type, not before the variable name.

Example:

const QString& type;
PMObject* obj;


4) Names
--------

Variables:
----------
Member variables begin with "m_".
Static variables begin with "s_".
Member pointers begin with "m_p".

All variables begin with a lower case (member variables after the "m_").
Use upper case character to separate different words.

Examples:

class abcd
{
   int m_firstMember;
   char* m_pFirstMember;
   static const char* s_pAStaticPointerToConstCharThatMeansItIsAString;
};

void abcd::efgh( )
{
   int aLocalVariable;
}

Classes:
--------
All classes start with "PM" and a upper case character.

Methods:
--------
All methods start with a lower case character.

Set methods begin with "set".
Get methods do NOT begin with "get".

Examples:

int PMSPhere::centre( ) const;
void PMSphere::setCentre( );

5) KDoc Comments
----------------

Use KDoc comments to document classes.

Don't add a description if you just overload a virtual function
that doesn't add some functionality.

Example:

/** Returns the internal object name (not i18n'ed) */
virtual PMObject::className( ) const;

/** */
virtual PMSphere::className( ) const;

KDoc will then generate the following output:

<documentation>
PMObject*  newObject ( ) 

[const virtual]

Reimplemented from PMObject.
</documentation>


6) Long Lines
--------------
Try to use only 80 characters per line.


7) Sample .emacs File
---------------------

Here is a sample .emacs file. It is a mix of several files, so some
things are set multiple times. But it works :-)
