This is for Lazarus developers:
|
|
|
|
Coding style:
|
|
- Since one style is easier to read, Lazarus follows the Borland Coding style
|
|
guidelines. Of course, almost anyone will find some points there, that are
|
|
arguably less readable than other styles. That's OK, just try to follow at
|
|
least 90%.
|
|
- Try to avoid unit circles. This makes it easier to navigate and allows to
|
|
split the unit when it is growing.
|
|
- Minimize the number of calls from Interfaces to LCL, when performing an
|
|
action requested by the LCL. The interfaces only notify the LCL, never forces
|
|
something. The LCL decides.
|
|
Naming convention:
|
|
Notifications for TControl decendants should be named CNxxx.
|
|
- All code must work with all checks (range, io, overflow, stack) on. Beside
|
|
that this helps debugging, some users put these checks into their fpc.cfg, so
|
|
they are applied to whole Lazarus. Including packages and examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
New files:
|
|
- Every file should start with a header containing the license and a few lines
|
|
describing the content.
|
|
- Pascal sources should have lowercase filenames (.pas, .pp, .inc, .lfm, .lrs)
|
|
|
|
Include files:
|
|
- should start with the {%MainUnit } directive
|
|
|
|
Packages:
|
|
- should have an .lpl entry in packager/globallinks/
|
|
You can use "./tools/lplupdate -c" to find missing/outdated lpl files.
|
|
- must have all fields in "Description"
|
|
|
|
Dialogs (modal forms):
|
|
- Close on Escape (if key not used otherwise)
|
|
- Define default button and Return activates it (if key not used)
|
|
- Medium to complex dialogs should be resizable and size is stored
|
|
|
|
Main Menu Items:
|
|
- Should have a key in keymapping.pp
|
