+The following naming conventions must be met for code contribution:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. Class names follow the CamelCase convention, where the first letter is an upper case letter.
|
|
|
+2. Class methods follow the CamelCase convention, where the first letter is a lower case letter, when the method is public.
|
|
|
+3. Class methods follow the CamelCase convention, where the first letter is an underscore letter, followed by a lower case letter, when the method is private.
|
|
|
+4. Method and function parameter follow the CamelCase convention, where the first letter is an underscore letter, followed by a lower case letter.
|
|
|
+5. Private class members follow the CamelCase convention, where the first letter starts with a lower case letter.
|
|
|
+6. Header or source files of classes must meet the same naming convention as for class names, followed by the class extension (.cpp for source files, .hpp for header files).
|
|
|
+7. Class methods with a return type other than void must be declared with __[[nodiscard]]__.
|
|
|
+8. Class methods with an optional return type other than void must be declared with __[[maybe_unused]]__.
