svn change-log:

Use whole sentences begins with Capital letter. For each modification use new line.
Or you can write the theme, colon and then every change on new line, begin
with "- ".

Example:

I did some bugfixes.
Library:
- the interface was modified
- new functions were added

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sources:

Indentation: tabs
Names of variables & functions: small_letters
      of defines: CAPITAL_LETTERS

Try to use explicit variable and function names.


Try not to use macros.
Use EITHER "struct foo" OR "foo"; never both

Conditions, cycles:

if (<cond>)
	{
	<command>;
	...
	<command>;
	}
else
	{
	<command>;
	...
	<command>;
	}
                                                                                
if (<cond_very_very_very_very_very_very_very_very_very_long> &&
    <cond2very_very_very_very_very_very_very_very_very_long)
    <the_only_command>;

switch (<var>)
	{
	case 0:
		<command>;
		<command>;
		break;
	case 1:
		<command>; break;
	}

for (i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
	{
	<command>;
	...
	<command>;
	}
	

Functions:

gint bar(<var_def>, <var_def>, <var_def>)
{
	<command>;
	...
	<command>;

	return 0; // i.e. SUCCESS; if error, you must return minus <err_no>
}

void bar2(void)
{
	<command>;
	...
	<command>;
}

Pragma: (Indentation 2 spaces)

#ifdef ENABLE_NLS
#  undef _
#  define _(String) (String)
#endif /* ENABLE_NLS */

Headers:

#ifndef _FILENAME_H

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use spaces around every operator (except ".", "->", "++" and "--");
        unary operator '*' and '&' are missing the space from right;
        (and also unary '-').
As you can see above, parentheses are closed to inside, i.e. " (blah blah) "
    In "function(<var>)" there are no space before '('. 
You MAY use more tabs/spaces than you OUGHT TO (according to this CodingStyle), if
        it makes your code nicer in being verticaly indented.
Variables declarations should be followed by a blank line and should always be
at the start of the block.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use glib types when possible (ie. gint and gchar instead of int and char).
Use glib functions when possible (ie. g_ascii_isspace() instead of isspace()).
Check if used functions are not deprecated.
