## Coding conventions in the Samba 3.0 tree
##
===========
Quick Start
===========
Coding style guidelines are about reducing the number of unnecessary
reformatting patches and making things easier developers to work together.
You don't have to like them or even agree with them, but once put in place
we all have to abide by them (or vote to change them). However, coding
style should never outweigh coding itself and so the the guidelines
described here are hopefully easier enough to follow as they are very
common and supported by tools and editors.
The basic style, also mentioned in the SAMBA_4_0/prog_guide.txt is the
Linux kernel coding style (See Documentation/CodingStyle in the kernel
source tree). The closely matches what most Samba developers use already
anyways.
But to save you the trouble of reading the Linux kernel style guide, here
are the highlights.
* Maximum Line Width is 80 Characters
The reason is not for people with low-res screens but rather sticking
to 80 columns prevents you from easily nesting more than one level of
if statements or other code blocks. Use source/script/count_80_col.pl
to check your changes.
* Use 8 Space Tabs to Indent
No whitespace filler.
* No Trailing Whitespace
Use source/script/strip_trail_ws.pl to clean you files before committing.
* Follow the K&R guidelines. We won't go throw them all here. You have
a copy of "The C Programming Language" anyways right? You can also use
the format_indent.sh script found in source/script/ if all else fails.

Editor Hints
============
Emacs
-----
Add the follow to your $HOME/.emacs file:
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(c-set-style "linux")
(c-toggle-auto-state)))
Vi
--
(Thanks to SATOH Fumiyasu <fumiyas@osstech.jp> for these hints):
For the basic vi eitor including with all variants of *nix, add the
following to $HOME/.exrc:
set tabstop=8
set shiftwidth=8
For Vim, the following settings in $HOME/.vimrc will also deal with
disaplaying trailing whitespace:
if has("syntax") && (&t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running"))
syntax on
function! ActivateInvisibleCharIndicator()
syntax match TrailingSpace "[ \t]\+$" display containedin=ALL
highlight TrailingSpace ctermbg=Red
endf
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead * call ActivateInvisibleCharIndicator()
endif
