NEPTUNER Coding Guidelines
- sonofdelphi
2009-12-13
2008-12-16
==========================

* To enable faster coding with an IDE
* To enable better debugging, no guessing what a variable is!

Variable naming
================

Variables are named as:
<Scope><Indirection><Aggregation><Usage><NameInTitleCase>

Scope Modifier
* Member variables start with m_
* Global variables start with g_
* Function Parameters start with "in_"
* Local variables don't have a scope modifier

Indirection Modifier
* Pointer variables start with p
* Reference variables start with r
* Other variables don't have an indirection modifier

Aggregation Modifier
* a - aggregates (arrays, vectors, lists etc)
* Plain variables don't have an aggregation modifier

Usage Modifier
* n - used for counting
* s - used as string
* c - character
* b - used as boolean
* f - used as a function. Deprecated though.
* e - enumeration types
* x - other structs, x = Complex = non-simple
* Other types (what are they?:-) don't have a usage modifier.

Indentation
=============
* Use a single indent for every {} block.

* { and } should be on new lines, at the same indentation level as the conditional.
Eg:
if(someCondition)
{
	statement1;
	statement2;
}

* Single line conditionals need not have {} marking. 
  But make sure you indent the single statement.

Type naming
=============
* Follow TitleCasing for user-defined types - classes, structs, enums.
Eg:
class Student
{
	string m_sName;
	int    m_nMarks;
};

Function naming
================
* Functions should follow camelCase.
* The first word of a function should be a verb.
Eg: doSomeThing()

Pseudoclass functions
======================
* For C-style module functions, name as ModuleName_<camelCaseFunctionName>
Eg: Neptuner_addStuff
