Thus + making maintenance easier and increasing chances of success of + the project. + + And that of course comes back to us as individuals. If we + can increase our development and product efficiencies then we + can solve more of the request for changes/improvements and in + general feel good about ourselves. ;-> + + + + Using Comments + + + Comment, Comment, Comment + + Explanation: + + Comment as much as possible without commenting the obvious. + For example do not comment "aVariable is equal to bVariable". + Instead explain why aVariable should be equal to the bVariable. + Just because a person can read code does not mean they will + understand why or what is being done. A reader may spend a lot + more time figuring out what is going on when a simple comment + or explanation would have prevented the extra research. Please + help your brother IJB'ers out! + + The comments will also help justify the intent of the code. + If the comment describes something different than what the code + is doing then maybe a programming error is occurring. + + Example: + +/* if page size greater than 1k ... */ +if ( PageLength() > 1024 ) +{ + ... "block" the page up ... +} + +/* if page size is small, send it in blocks */ +if ( PageLength() > 1024 ) +{ + ... "block" the page up ... +} + +This demonstrates 2 cases of "what not to do". The first is a +"syntax comment". The second is a comment that does not fit what +is actually being done. + + + + + + Use blocks for comments + + Explanation: + + Comments can help or they can clutter. They help when they + are differentiated from the code they describe. One line + comments do not offer effective separation between the comment + and the code. Block identifiers do, by surrounding the code + with a clear, definable pattern. + + Example: + +/********************************************************************* + * This will stand out clearly in your code! + *********************************************************************/ +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); +} + + +/* unfortunately, this may not */ +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); +} + + +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) /* this may not either */ +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); +} + + Exception: + + If you are trying to add a small logic comment and do not + wish to "disrubt" the flow of the code, feel free to use a 1 + line comment which is NOT on the same line as the code. + + + + + + Keep Comments on their own line + + Explanation: + + It goes back to the question of readability. If the comment + is on the same line as the code it will be harder to read than + the comment that is on its own line. + + There are three exceptions to this rule, which should be + violated freely and often: during the definition of variables, + at the end of closing braces, when used to comment + parameters. + + Example: + +/********************************************************************* + * This will stand out clearly in your code, + * But the second example won't. + *********************************************************************/ +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); +} + +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) /*can you see me?*/ +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); /*not easily*/ +} + + +/********************************************************************* + * But, the encouraged exceptions: + *********************************************************************/ +int urls_read = 0; /* # of urls read + rejected */ +int urls_rejected = 0; /* # of urls rejected */ + +if ( 1 == X ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); +} + + +short DoSomethingVeryImportant( + short firstParam, /* represents something */ + short nextParam /* represents something else */ ) +{ + ...code here... + +} /* -END- DoSomethingVeryImportant */ + + + + + Comment each logical step + + Explanation: + + Logical steps should be commented to help others follow the + intent of the written code and comments will make the code more + readable. + + If you have 25 lines of code without a comment, you should + probably go back into it to see where you forgot to put + one. + + Most "for", "while", "do", etc... loops _probably_ need a + comment. After all, these are usually major logic + containers. + + + + + + Comment All Functions Thoroughly + + Explanation: + + A reader of the code should be able to look at the comments + just prior to the beginning of a function and discern the + reason for its existence and the consequences of using it. The + reader should not have to read through the code to determine if + a given function is safe for a desired use. The proper + information thoroughly presented at the introduction of a + function not only saves time for subsequent maintenance or + debugging, it more importantly aids in code reuse by allowing a + user to determine the safety and applicability of any function + for the problem at hand. As a result of such benefits, all + functions should contain the information presented in the + addendum section of this document. + + + + + + Comment at the end of braces if the + content is more than one screen length + + Explanation: + + Each closing brace should be followed on the same line by a + comment that describes the origination of the brace if the + original brace is off of the screen, or otherwise far away from + the closing brace. This will simplify the debugging, + maintenance, and readability of the code. + + As a suggestion , use the following flags to make the + comment and its brace more readable: + + use following a closing brace: } /* -END- if() or while () + or etc... */ + + Example: + +if ( 1 == X ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); + ...some long list of commands... +} /* -END- if x is 1 */ + +or: + +if ( 1 == X ) +{ + DoSomethingVeryImportant(); + ...some long list of commands... +} /* -END- if ( 1 == X ) */ + + + + + + Naming Conventions + + + + Variable Names + + Explanation: + + Use all lowercase, and seperate words via an underscore + ('_'). Do not start an identifier with an underscore. (ANSI C + reserves these for use by the compiler and system headers.) Do + not use identifiers which are reserved in ANSI C++. (E.g. + template, class, true, false, ...). This is in case we ever + decide to port JunkBuster to C++. + + Example: + +int ms_iis5_hack = 0; + + Instead of: + + + +int msiis5hack = 0; int msIis5Hack = 0; + - - -Coding Guidelines -To be filled. + + + + + Function Names + + Explanation: + + Use all lowercase, and seperate words via an underscore + ('_'). Do not start an identifier with an underscore. (ANSI C + reserves these for use by the compiler and system headers.) Do + not use identifiers which are reserved in ANSI C++.

Use the same parameter name in the header file + that you use in the c file. + + Example: + +(.h) extern int load_aclfile( struct client_state *csp ); +(.c) int load_aclfile( struct client_state *csp ) + + Instead of: + +(.h) extern int load_aclfile( struct client_state * ); or +(.h) extern int load_aclfile(); +(.c) int load_aclfile( struct client_state *csp ) + - -Testplan for releases - + + + + + Enumerations, and #defines + + Explanation: + + Use all capital letters, with underscores between words. Do + not start an identifier with an underscore. (ANSI C reserves + these for use by the compiler and system headers.) + + Example: + +(enumeration) : enum Boolean { FALSE, TRUE }; +(#define) : #define DEFAULT_SIZE 100; + + Note: We have a standard naming scheme for #defines + that toggle a feature in the preprocessor: FEATURE_>, where + > is a short (preferably 1 or 2 word) description. + + Example: + +#define FEATURE_FORCE 1 + +#ifdef FEATURE_FORCE +#define FORCE_PREFIX blah +#endif /* def FEATURE_FORCE */ + + + + + Constants + + Explanation: + + Spell common words out entirely (do not remove vowels). + + Use only widely-known domain acronyms and abbreviations. + Capitalize all letters of an acronym. + + Use underscore (_) to separate adjacent acronyms and + abbreviations. Never terminate a name with an underscore. + + Example: + +#define USE_IMAGE_LIST 1 + + Instead of: + + + +#define USE_IMG_LST 1 or +#define _USE_IMAGE_LIST 1 or +#define USE_IMAGE_LIST_ 1 or +#define use_image_list 1 or +#define UseImageList 1 + + + + + + + + + + Using Space + + + + Put braces on a line by themselves. + + Explanation: + + The brace needs to be on a line all by itself, not at the + end of the statement. Curly braces should line up with the + construct that they're associated with. This practice makes it + easier to identify the opening and closing braces for a + block. + + Example: + +if ( this == that ) +{ + ... +} + + Instead of: + + if ( this == that ) { ... } + + or + + if ( this == that ) { ... } + + Note: In the special case that the if-statement is + inside a loop, and it is trivial, i.e. it tests for a + condidtion that is obvious from the purpose of the block, + one-liners as above may optically preserve the loop structure + and make it easier to read. + + Status: developer-discrection. + + Example exception: + +while ( more lines are read ) +{ + /* Please document what is/is not a comment line here */ + if ( it's a comment ) continue; + + do_something( line ); +} + + + + + ALL control statements should have a + block + + Explanation: + + Using braces to make a block will make your code more + readable and less prone to error. All control statements should + have a block defined. + + Example: + +if ( this == that ) +{ + DoSomething(); + DoSomethingElse(); +} + + Instead of: + + if ( this == that ) DoSomething(); DoSomethingElse(); + + or + + if ( this == that ) DoSomething(); + + Note: The first example in "Instead of" will execute + in a manner other than that which the developer desired (per + indentation). Using code braces would have prevented this + "feature". The "explanation" and "exception" from the point + above also applies. + + + + + + Do not belabor/blow-up boolean + expressions + + Example: + +structure->flag = ( condition ); + + Instead of: + + if ( condition ) { structure->flag = 1; } else { + structure->flag = 0; } + + Note: The former is readable and consice. The later + is wordy and inefficient. Please assume that any developer new + to the project has at least a "good" knowledge of C/C++. (Hope + I do not offend by that last comment ... 8-) + + + + + + Use white space freely because it is + free + + Explanation: + + Make it readable. The notable exception to using white space + freely is listed in the next guideline. + + Example: + +int firstValue = 0; +int someValue = 0; +int anotherValue = 0; +int thisVariable = 0; + +if ( thisVariable == thatVariable ) + +firstValue = oldValue + ( ( someValue - anotherValue ) - whatever ) + + + + + Don't use white space around structure + operators + + Explanation: + + - structure pointer operator ( "->" ) - member operator ( + "." ) - functions and parentheses + + It is a general coding practice to put pointers, references, + and function parentheses next to names. With spaces, the + connection between the object and variable/function name is not + as clear. + + Example: + +aStruct->aMember; +aStruct.aMember; +FunctionName(); + + Instead of: aStruct -> aMember; aStruct . aMember; + FunctionName (); + + + + + + Make the last brace of a function stand + out + + Example: + +int function1( ... ) +{ + ...code... + return( retCode ); + +} /* -END- function1 */ + + +int function2( ... ) +{ +} /* -END- function2 */ + + + Instead of: + + int function1( ... ) { ...code... return( retCode ); } int + function2( ... ) { } + + Note: Use 1 blank line before the closing brace and 2 + lines afterwards. This makes the end of function standout to + the most casual viewer. Although function comments help + seperate functions, this is still a good coding practice. In + fact, I follow these rules when using blocks in "for", "while", + "do" loops, and long if {} statements too. After all whitespace + is free! + + Status: developer-discrection on the number of blank + lines. Enforced is the end of function comments. + + + + + + Use 3 character indentions + + Explanation: + + If some use 8 character TABs and some use 3 character TABs, + the code can look *very* ragged. So use 3 character indentions + only. If you like to use TABs, pass your code through a filter + such as "expand -t3" before checking in your code. + + Example: + +static const char * const url_code_map[256] = +{ + NULL, ... +}; + + +int function1( ... ) +{ + if ( 1 ) + { + return( ALWAYS_TRUE ); + } + else + { + return( HOW_DID_YOU_GET_HERE ); + } + + return( NEVER_GETS_HERE ); + +} + + + + + + + Initializing + + + + Initialize all variables + + Explanation: + + Do not assume that the variables declared will not be used + until after they have been assigned a value somewhere else in + the code. Remove the chance of accidentally using an unassigned + variable. + + Example: + +short anShort = 0; +float aFloat = 0; +struct *ptr = NULL; + + Note: It is much easier to debug a SIGSEGV if the + message says you are trying to access memory address 00000000 + and not 129FA012; or arrayPtr[20] causes a SIGSEV vs. + arrayPtr[0]. + + Status: developer-discrection if and only if the + variable is assigned a value "shortly after" declaration. + + + + + + Functions + + + + Name functions that return a boolean as a + question. + + Explanation: + + Value should be phrased as a question that would logically + be answered as a true or false statement + + Example: + +ShouldWeBlockThis(); +ContainsAnImage(); +IsWebPageBlank(); + + + + + Always specify a return type for a + function. + + Explanation: + + The default return for a function is an int. To avoid + ambiguity, create a return for a function when the return has a + purpose, and create a void return type if the function does not + need to return anything. + + + + + + Minimize function calls when iterating by + using variables + + Explanation: + + It is easy to write the following code, and a clear argument + can be made that the code is easy to understand: + + Example: + +for ( size_t cnt = 0; cnt < blockListLength(); cnt ++ ) +{ + .... +} + + Note: Unfortunately, this makes a function call for + each and every iteration. This increases the overhead in the + program, because the compiler has to look up the function each + time, call it, and return a value. Depending on what occurs in + the blockListLength() call, it might even be creating and + destroying structures with each iteration, even though in each + case it is comparing "cnt" to the same value, over and over. + Remember too - even a call to blockListLength() is a function + call, with the same overhead. + + Instead of using a function call during the iterations, + assign the value to a variable, and evaluate using the + variable. + + Example: + +size_t len = blockListLength(); + +for ( size_t cnt = 0; cnt < len; cnt ++ ) +{ + .... +} + + Exceptions: if the value of blockListLength() *may* + change or could *potentially* change, then you must code the + function call in the for/while loop. + + + + + + Pass and Return by Const Reference + + Explanation: + + This allows a developer to define a const pointer and call + your function. If your function does not have the const + keyword, we may not be able to use your function. Consider + strcmp, if it were defined as: extern int strcmp( char *s1, + char *s2 ); + + I could then not use it to compare argv's in main: int main( + int argc, const char *argv[] ) { strcmp( argv[0], "junkbusters" + ); } + + Both these pointers are *const*! If the c runtime library + maintainers do it, we should too. + + + + + + Pass and Return by Value + + Explanation: + + Most structures cannot fit onto a normal stack entry (i.e. + they are not 4 bytes or less). Aka, a function declaration + like: int load_aclfile( struct client_state csp ) + + would not work. So, to be consistent, we should declare all + prototypes with "pass by value": int load_aclfile( struct + client_state *csp ) + + + + + + Names of include files + + Explanation: + + Your include statements should contain the file name without + a path. The path should be listed in the Makefile, using -I as + processor directive to search the indicated paths. An exception + to this would be for some proprietary software that utilizes a + partial path to distinguish their header files from system or + other header files. + + Example: + +#include <iostream.h> /* This is not a local include */ +#include "config.h" /* This IS a local include */ + + + Exception: + + + +/* This is not a local include, but requires a path element. */ +#include <sys/fileName.h> + + + + Note: Please! do not add "-I." to the Makefile + without a _very_ good reason. This duplicates the #include + "file.h" behaviour. + + + + + + Provide multiple inclusion + protection + + Explanation: + + Prevents compiler and linker errors resulting from + redefinition of items. + + Wrap each header file with the following syntax to prevent + multiple inclusions of the file. Of course, replace PROJECT_H + with your file name, with "." Changed to "_", and make it + uppercase. + + Example: + +#ifndef PROJECT_H_INCLUDED +#define PROJECT_H_INCLUDED + ... +#endif /* ndef PROJECT_H_INCLUDED */ + + + + + Use `extern "C"` when appropriate + + Explanation: + + If our headers are included from C++, they must declare our + functions as `extern "C"`. This has no cost in C, but increases + the potential re-usability of our code. + + Example: + +#ifdef __cplusplus +extern "C" +{ +#endif /* def __cplusplus */ + +... function definitions here ... + +#ifdef __cplusplus +} +#endif /* def __cplusplus */ + + + + + Where Possible, Use Forward Struct + Declaration Instead of Includes + + Explanation: + + Useful in headers that include pointers to other struct's. + Modifications to excess header files may cause needless + compiles. + + Example: + +/********************************************************************* + * We're avoiding an include statement here! + *********************************************************************/ +struct file_list; +extern file_list *xyz; + + Note: If you declare "file_list xyz;" (without the + pointer), then including the proper header file is necessary. + If you only want to prototype a pointer, however, the header + file is unneccessary. + + Status: Use with discrection. + + + + + + General Coding Practices + + + + Turn on warnings + + Explanation + + Compiler warnings are meant to help you find bugs. You + should turn on as many as possible. With GCC, the switch is + "-Wall". Try and fix as many warnings as possible. + + + + + + Provide a default case for all switch + statements + + Explanation: + + What you think is guaranteed is never really guaranteed. The + value that you don't think you need to check is the one that + someday will be passed. So, to protect yourself from the + unknown, always have a default step in a switch statement. + + Example: + +switch( hash_string( cmd ) ) +{ + case hash_actions_file : + ... code ... + break; + + case hash_confdir : + ... code ... + break; + + default : + log_error( ... ); + ... anomly code goes here ... + continue; / break; / exit( 1 ); / etc ... + +} /* end switch( hash_string( cmd ) ) */ + + Note: If you already have a default condition, you + are obviously exempt from this point. Of note, most of the + WIN32 code calls `DefWindowProc' after the switch statement. + This API call *should* be included in a default statement. + + Another Note: This is not so much a readability issue + as a robust programming issue. The "anomly code goes here" may + be no more than a print to the STDERR stream (as in + load_config). Or it may really be an ABEND condition. + + Status: Programmer discretion is advised. + + + + + + Try to avoid falling through cases in a + switch statement. + + Explanation: + + In general, you will want to have a 'break' statement within + each 'case' of a switch statement. This allows for the code to + be more readable and understandable, and furthermore can + prevent unwanted surprises if someone else later gets creative + and moves the code around. + + The language allows you to plan the fall through from one + case statement to another simply by omitting the break + statement within the case statement. This feature does have + benefits, but should only be used in rare cases. In general, + use a break statement for each case statement. + + If you choose to allow fall through, you should comment both + the fact of the fall through and reason why you felt it was + necessary. + + + + + + Use 'long' or 'short' Instead of + 'int' + + Explanation: + + On 32-bit platforms, int usually has the range of long. On + 16-bit platforms, int has the range of short. + + Status: open-to-debate. In the case of most FSF + projects (including X/GNU-Emacs), there are typedefs to int4, + int8, int16, (or equivalence ... I forget the exact typedefs + now). Should we add these to IJB now that we have a "configure" + script? + + + + + + Don't mix size_t and other types + + Explanation: + + The type of size_t varies across platforms. Do not make + assumptions about whether it is signed or unsigned, or about + how long it is. Do not compare a size_t against another + variable of a different type (or even against a constant) + without casting one of the values. Try to avoid using size_t if + you can. + + + + + + Declare each variable and struct on its + own line. + + Explanation: + + It can be tempting to declare a series of variables all on + one line. Don't. + + Example: + +long a = 0; +long b = 0; +long c = 0; + + Instead of: + + long a, b, c; + + Explanation: - there is more room for comments on the + individual variables - easier to add new variables without + messing up the original ones - when searching on a variable to + find its type, there is less clutter to "visually" + eliminate + + Exceptions: when you want to declare a bunch of loop + variables or other trivial variables; feel free to declare them + on 1 line. You should, although, provide a good comment on + their functions. + + Status: developer-discrection. + + + + + + Use malloc/zalloc sparingly + + Explanation: + + Create a local stuct (on the stack) if the variable will + live and die within the context of one function call. + + Only "malloc" a struct (on the heap) if the variable's life + will extend beyond the context of one function call. + + Example: + +If a function creates a struct and stores a pointer to it in a +list, then it should definately be allocated via `malloc'. + + + + + The Programmer Who Uses 'malloc' is + Responsible for Ensuring 'free' + + Explanation: + + If you have to "malloc" an instance, you are responsible for + insuring that the instance is `free'd, even if the deallocation + event falls within some other programmer's code. You are also + responsible for ensuring that deletion is timely (i.e. not too + soon, not too late). This is known as "low-coupling" and is a + "good thing (tm)". You may need to offer a + free/unload/destuctor type function to accomodate this. + + Example: + +int load_re_filterfile( struct client_state *csp ) { ... } +static void unload_re_filterfile( void *f ) { ... } + + Exceptions: + + The developer cannot be expected to provide `free'ing + functions for C run-time library functions ... such as + `strdup'. + + Status: developer-discrection. The "main" use of this + standard is for allocating and freeing data structures (complex + or nested). + + + + + + Add loaders to the `file_list' structure + and in order + + Explanation: + + I have ordered all of the "blocker" file code to be in alpha + order. It is easier to add/read new blockers when you expect a + certain order. + + Note: It may appear that the alpha order is broken in + places by POPUP tests coming before PCRS tests. But since + POPUPs can also be referred to as KILLPOPUPs, it is clear that + it should come first. + + + + + + "Uncertain" new code and/or changes to + exitinst code, use FIXME + + Explanation: + + If you have enough confidence in new code or confidence in + your changes, but are not *quite* sure of the reprocussions, + add this: + + /* FIXME: this code has a logic error on platform XYZ, * + attempthing to fix */ #ifdef PLATFORM ...changed code here... + #endif + + or: + + /* FIXME: I think the original author really meant this... + */ ...changed code here... + + or: + + /* FIXME: new code that *may* break something else... */ + ...new code here... + + Note: If you make it clear that this may or may not + be a "good thing (tm)", it will be easier to identify and + include in the project (or conversly exclude from the + project). + + + + + + + Addendum: Template for files and function + comment blocks: + + Example for file comments: + +const char FILENAME_rcs[] = "$Id: developer-manual.sgml,v 1.2 2001/09/13 15:20:17 swa Exp $"; +/********************************************************************* + * + * File : $Source$ + * + * Purpose : (Fill me in with a good description!) + * + * Copyright : Written by and Copyright (C) 2001 the SourceForge + * IJBSWA team. http://ijbswa.sourceforge.net + * + * Based on the Internet Junkbuster originally written + * by and Copyright (C) 1997 Anonymous Coders and + * Junkbusters Corporation. http://www.junkbusters.com + * + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it + * and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General + * Public License as published by the Free Software + * Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at + * your option) any later version. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will + * be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the + * implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A + * PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
