NFD code style guidelines¶

NFD adopts NDN Platform C++, C, C#, Java and JavaScript Code Guidelines, with the following exceptions:

• (amended 10). Global variables should have g_ prefix
• (amended 11). All class variables should have m_ prefix. Static class variables should have s_ prefix.
• (amended 33). We will use only .cpp and .hpp extensions
• (amended 44). Avoid C-style casts. Use static_cast, dynamic_cast, reinterpret_cast, const_cast where appropriate instead.
• (new). Exceptions can be used in the code, but should be used only in exceptional cases and not in the primary processing path.
• (new). When declaring/defining function/method, the return type should be put on a separate line before function/method name.
