C++ Coding Guidelines

Indenting and Spacing

• Indenting must be done with tab characters.
• Spacing must be done with space characters.
• The following indent style shall be followed (Allman style):

if(x == y)
{
    statement;
}

Naming

• Class member method names shall begin with a upper case character (ex.: int DoSomething();).
• Class member variable names shall be prefixed by m_ (ex.: int m_member = 0;).

Constructors and Destructors

• Empty ctors and dtors definitions are not permitted.
• Use direct member initialization when possible.
• If an empty default ctor is needed, it must be declared as default in the class declaration.
• Empty virtual dtors must be marked as default in the class declaration.

Override Keyword

All methods overriding a virtual method from a base class shall be annotated with override and must not be marked as virtual.

Exception: dtors shall be marked as virtual and not override.

IOP HLE Modules

• Module Methods: All parameters for must be passed as uint32. Pointer parameters must also be passed as uint32 and the name of the parameter must be prepended with Ptr (ie. stringPtr). When used, return values must be int32.

Objective-C Coding Guidelines

Naming

• Interface member method names shall begin with a lower case character (ex.: -(int)doSomething;).
