#OFOCT MIDI CONVERTER HOW TO#

A user may just want to use the functions and not care how they were generated, so all he'll need is an overview of the module and the specifics of how to use each function '“ what goes in and what comes out '“ but generally he doesn't care what happens in between.

A maintainer should have the same level of programming skill as the developer, but will need information about the software that may not be obvious from reading the raw code, so he will want in-line comments sufficient to help him quickly understand what the code is doing. The developer will be intimately familiar with the code and not need much other than the code itself. Īlthough C has no 'private' definition, any functions and otherwise global variables not meant to be used by client code should be declared static.Įach module's API is defined in a single header file, named after the module (ie, uart.h).ĭocumentation requirements vary with the type of user. Whenever possible, use the read/modify/write paradigm to change registers in order to avoid overwriting other parts of the register. Private constants use static const values to limit the scope to the module. Public constants (in header files) use #define for single values because it will not reserve memory space. Use braces for all statements that could have them, even for enclosing a single line. Both opening and closing braces go on their own line. Any member variables follow the guidelines for variables specified above.Īs a general guideline, code will use the BSD Allman formatting. For example: #define UART_BAUD 19200.ĭata typedefs use lower_case and end in _t (ie, long_timer_t). Never use global variables but if you do, use g_ as a prefix.Ĭonstants will be UPPER_CASE and have the module name as a prefix. For example: uart_init(uint32_t baud_rate. Module initialization functions will all have _init as a suffix. For example: spi.c and spi.h.įunction names and arguments will all use lower_case and have the module name as a prefix. Variables and functions will be named with all lower case letters with words separated by underscores.)Įach module will have a short descriptive name such as spi or uartįiles will use lower_case and will have the module name as a prefix. UPPER_CASE: Has all upper case letters, with words separated by underscores.lower_case: Has all lower case letters, with words separated by underscores.We will try to use this guide as much as possible since we would like to have our software usable with avr-corelib project. The C programming guide is modified from the avrcore library suggested guide by Ruddick Lawernce. This document has two main parts, a C programming style guide, and documentation style guide.

I'm proposing the following style guide for use with avrtoolbox and would appreciate any comments. I'm leaving the materials below the line unchanged for historic reasons.

I've redone this based on the suggestions and the revised version 'avrtoolbox software style guide 001.pdf' is available at:
