Quick and dirty document for patchers
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Before sending any type of code patches, make sure to
|
|
check a few things:
|
|
|
|
Tabs
|
|
----
|
|
Althought we currently does not require specific coding style (aren't we liberate :)
|
|
we are very sensitive on tabs. So _use_ them. This will enable not only to us, but
|
|
to others, easier switching between screen resolutions etc. (many modern editors allow
|
|
setting tab sizes). Also it is much easier to convert tabs to spaces, than otherwise
|
|
(if we change opinion to tabs and switch to spaces only). Boring know, but keep it in mind.
|
|
|
|
eFLTK/FLTK knowledge
|
|
--------------------
|
|
This is one of the most important things. Make sure you have at least basic understainding of
|
|
eFLTK/FLTK, especially for draw() and handle(int) functions. They are very sensitive which
|
|
means every move/resize/etc. will call these functions (aka. do not use heavy calculations
|
|
inside, reading/writing files etc.)
|
|
|
|
Memory
|
|
------
|
|
What you allocate, make sure to deallocate too. Some things should not be deallocated
|
|
explicitly like some eFLTK/FLTK widgets, but for this, check above.
|
|
|
|
After you read above, applied on code, and decided to send us, please test your code before
|
|
sending. Test on everything. Test on power loss, bad food, cold coffee... And, of course
|
|
test on speed. If it looks nice, but slow as hell, big as big's mamas house, recosider to
|
|
remove these glitches, or if that is not possible, note us like "I want that feature,
|
|
have a patch, but it is slooooowww". We will came up with something.
|
|
|
|
End, for now...
