CODE STYLE ---------- Please use the style used by the rest of the code. Among other things, this means: * 8 spaces for indentation. Note that tabs are still found in the codebase. * Put spaces: * around binary operators * between if/while/for/switch and "(" * between function name and "(" * between ")" and "{" * after "," * if/for/while bodies: * Single-line bodies should (a) be on their own line, and (b) not have braces around them * Multi-line bodies should have braces around them, even if the body is only a single statement and the braces are not syntactically necessary. * Eg: for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (find (i, something)) break; else { function_with_big_name (i, something, something_else); } } * Do not use gint, gchar, glong, and gshort. (Other g-types, such as gpointer and the unsigned types are fine.) * There is a clang-format config file that can be used on new code. Avoid reformatting entire files. CORRECTNESS ----------- * libsoup builds with lots of -W options by default, and should not print any warnings while compiling. * There are a number of regression tests in the tests/ directory. Running "ninja test" will run all of them (or at least, all of the ones that it can run based on what software you have installed. Eg, some tests require apache to be installed.) You should run "ninja test" before submitting a patch that could potentially change libsoup's behavior. If you are making extensive changes, or changing very low-level functions, you may want to install all of the optional pieces so you can run all of the regression tests.)
