Open Asset Import Library Coding Conventions

If you want to participate as a developer in the Open Asset Import Library please read and respect the following coding conventions. This will ensure consistency throughout the codebase and help all the Open Asset Import Library users.

Spacing

• No spaces between parentheses and arguments - i.e. foo(bar), not foo( bar )

Tabs

The tab width shall be 4 spaces. Use spaces instead of tabs.

Class/Struct Initialization

Constructors shall use initializer lists as follows:

SomeClass()
    : mExists(false)
    , mCounter()
    , mPtr()
{}

• Initializations are one-per-line
• Commas go at the beginning of the line rather than the end
• The order of the list must match the order of declaration in the class
• Any member with a default value should leave out the optional NULL or 0 - e.g. foo(), not foo(NULL)
