Hi People,
Since I've only ever programmed in a commercial environment, I'm just curious
if there are any implied/explicit rules/conventions for changing GNU code?
I mainly ask because at the moment I've been pushed Visual Studio .NET and have
become an addict (no more vi :). I like using the #region preprocessor for
creating blocks of code which can be expanded / collapsed. To properly use
though would mean reorganising functions into a more logical order then they
usually are.... I know it's not a big deal really (I'm just a pedantic code
nazy though :), but I realise it would effect useful CVS diffs...
I guess it depends on the extent of the modifications required where it
wouldn't matter anyway - but any thoughts to these types of issues?
While we're on the matter... are there any code conventions/naming standards
which are used at all usually? I realise it's pretty much an "every convention
for themself" type of thing usually in opensource... I'm just a strong advocate
for standards... but...?
Cheers,
James
PS: On a side note - after just getting pnet up and running this week - friggen
bloody awesome work people :) Being able to compile my code on linux, and then
have it run on XP... well it just brought a tear to my eye !! Well done :)
