* no spaces around " -> " in indirect postfix expression.
* no space between function name and open parenthesis.
* no space between array name and open bracket.
* use NULL not 0 for pointers.
* explicitly compare pointers to NULL.
* explicitly compare integers to 0.
* Do not cast NULL.
* return type of function declaration on line by itself.
* open brace of function definition follows close parenthesis if parameters
all fit on one line.
* comment-only lines start with /* on line by itself, and end with */
on line by itself.
* variable names in structures separated from their types in a column.
* name the parameters in function prototypes.
* ifndef multiple header file inclusion.
and other BIND9 conventions not in coding.html:
* private structures defined in relevant source module, not private header.
* RCS /* $Id: $ */ comments.
* Principal Author (Ted Lemon) comments.
* Updated ISC copyrights.
* Parenthesize value of return().
* Parenthesize argument of sizeof().
* "unsigned int foo" not "unsigned foo".
* ISC_LANG_(BEGIN|END)DECLS in header files.
* header files included directly by source/header file that needs them.
* ... and others I am probably forgetting.
and conversion to some libisc.a modules:
* use isc/int.h for isc_uintXX_t types, not u_intXX_t.
* use isc/assertions.h for REQUIRE() and INSIST().
* use isc/error.h for UNEXPECTED_ERROR.
* use isc/boolean.h for isc_boolean_t flags instead of int flags.
* use isc/net.h for networking types.
* use isc/netdb.h for gethostby*.
STILL TO COME ...
* more isc_boolean_t.
* isc/time.h to replace struct timeval.
* isc/socket.h to replace socket/listen/select/etc.
* isc/mem.h to replace malloc/free.
* namespace overhaul & omapi/compatibility.h.
Please collect all your belongings but stand clear of the doors until this
train has come to a complete stop.
