[SOSlib-devel] formatting and documentation convention

[Rainer M. <ra...@tb...>]

Hi All,

please note that we now have conventions both for code formatting and for 
doxygen compatible documentation!

Our new Wiki page for development (email me, if you want an account to 
contribute) at
http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/wiki/index.php/SOSlibDevel

provides two template files at
http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/wiki/index.php/SOSlibDevel#Code_Style_and_Doxygen_Doc_Conventions

Please take a look and try to set your editors for the correct C 
formatting.

If you use emacs, you e.g. can add to your .emacs file

;; custom C modes
(require 'cc-mode)
;; formatting preferences
(c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)

to overrule the (at least my) default settings - 2 spaces offset for the 
opening of a substatement - to 0 spaces.

http://www.bloomington.in.us/~brutt/emacs-c-dev.html gives other nice 
tricks for C programming in emacs, e.g. how to compile and debug within 
emacs.
