What is The Code Style and Why We Need It

• Code style is the only way to share code
• Good code style helps to develop complex programs

Naming Convention

• use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase as a direction
• name variables, functions as __varName__, __doSelfDescriptiveAction__
• name classes, typedefs, enums, structs as __!TypeName__
• name constants, defines, as __MAXNAME__
• name files in lower case, as __filename.h__

   # name headers by functional area, as __aidb.h__
   # name source files by class, use one file per class, as __nnlayer.cpp__

Formatting

• align function body with 8-char tabs
• use spaces to delimit any text, except function name, from brackets and commas
• use spaces before and after '='
• use empty lines to delimit closely related groups of code lines (code block)
• use the doxygen style function header comments.

Comments

• use one-line comments for every code block
• try write comments in such way that they represent sequential specification of function if delete the code
• use area delimiter to split file into groups of functions of very different matter - e.g. header references, interface functions, internal implementation functions, standard interface implementation, such as Object
