[Olsr-dev] questions regarding v2 coding style / lang

[Henning Rogge]

My suggestions for coding style are simple:

No (or nearly no) macros except for constants. Most macros make the code 
unreadable and difficult to debug.

No code in header files, it does belong into the source files.

No "source code compression". There is no reason the write extra tricky source 
code only because it saves a few lines if the longer (and more readable) code 
would result in a similar binary.

No scripts to create code. Generated code is a nightmare to read and to debug.

Doxygen comments for all functions (we have done this for most functions).

Clear namespaces for all functions/global variables in a .c file. Maybe a 
common prefix which is a "compressed" but easy to recognize version of the 
filename itself ( I use the prefix "pbb_" for all packet_bb parser 
functions).
