Compialation

• remove all warnings clang -Weverything gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic valgrind --show-leak-kinds=all --leak-check=full
• under all cicumstances have (atleast a wrapper) Makefile for frenliness
• GNU Make ok, that other Make with a prefix shall burn in hell
• NOTE: (to Xolatile in particular) fuck splint

Multi-line comments

• single line for separating logical blocks inside the same block
• multiline for exaplaining code /* stuff * and more */
• use them very sparsely

Headers

• never use relative paths, manipulate the compiler
• use #define type header guards
• header guards shall be all caps _
• make function forward declarations explicitly extern

Macros

• only with consensus can any new macro be added to the codebase
• always parenthesize values

Identaion

• tabs
• max 4 levels

Parenthesizing

• do not parenthesize return statements
• always add spacing around when after a control statement { if (condition) {...} }
• do not pad the insides { (stuff) ; and not: ( stuff ) }
• do not pad after function context { myfun(); }
• always use to avoid relying on operator precedence { (a * b) + c }

Declarations

• pointer '*'s always to the middle { char * s; }
• dont concat pointer '*'s { char \* \* s; }
• function heads belong on the same line
• [static|extern] [inline] [type]
• align adjecent ones horizontally
• always typedef structs or make them anonymous

If

• align logical operators under the keyword if if (a && b && c) {}
• align negating operators and the lack of there of if (!a && b && !c) {}
• always omit useless comperasions if (a) // good if (a != 0) // bad

Switch

switch(...) {
    case ...: {
    } beak;
}

• GNU range extensions allowed

Loops

• declare the iterator inside the loop
• variables to use for iteration 'i' -> 'j' -> 'k'
• use "while(1)" for infinit loops
• no coma in condition unless its an assignment
• never ommit brackets at empyt loop bodies

Operators

• prefer prefix crementors when possible { ++i; }
• use spaces (if you dont intuetively know what this means, kys)

Naming

• namer chooses spelling, consistency must follow
• snake_case
• *_t on all typedefs
• LOCAL variables shall be short enough to not use snake_case

Misc

• keep a line width of 80
