Coding Style
============
Mesa is over 20 years old and the coding style has evolved over time.
Some old parts use a style that's a bit out of date. Different sections
of mesa can use different coding style as set in the local EditorConfig
(.editorconfig) and/or Emacs (.dir-locals.el) file. Alternatively the
following is applicable. If the guidelines below don't cover something,
try following the format of existing, neighboring code.
``clang-format``
----------------
A growing number of drivers and components are adopting ``clang-format``
to standardize the formatting and make it easy for everyone to apply it.
You can re-format the code for the components that have opted-in to the
formatting enforcement (listed in ``.clang-format-include``) by simply
running ``ninja -C build/ clang-format``.
Since mass-reformatting commits can be an annoying extra jump to go
through when looking at ``git blame``, you can configure it to ignore
them by running::
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
Most code editors also support automatically formatting code as you
write it; check your editor or its pluggins to see how to enable this.
Vim
***
Add this to your ``.vimrc`` to automatically format any C & C++ file
(that has a .clang-format config) when you save it:
.. code:: vim
augroup ClangFormatOnSave
au!
function! ClangFormatOnSave()
" Only format files that have a .clang-format in a parent folder
if !empty(findfile('.clang-format', '.;'))
let l:formatdiff = 1 " Only format lines that have changed
py3f /usr/share/clang/clang-format.py
endif
endfunction
autocmd BufWritePre *.h,*.c,*.cc,*.cpp call ClangFormatOnSave()
augroup END
If ``/usr/share/clang/clang-format.py`` doesn't exist, try
``/usr/share/clang/clang-format-$CLANG_VERSION/clang-format.py``
(replacing ``$CLANG_VERSION`` with your clang version). If your distro
has put the file somewhere else, look through the files in the package
providing ``clang-format``.
Emacs
*****
Add this to your ``.emacs`` to automatically format any C & C++ file
(that has a .clang-format config) when you save it:
.. code:: emacs
(load "/usr/share/clang/clang-format.el")
(defun clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer ()
"Create a buffer local save hook."
(add-hook 'before-save-hook
(lambda ()
(when (locate-dominating-file "." ".clang-format")
(clang-format-buffer))
;; Continue to save.
nil)
nil
;; Buffer local hook.
t))
;; Run this for each mode you want to use the hook.
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda () (clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer)))
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook (lambda () (clang-format-save-hook-for-this-buffer)))
If ``/usr/share/clang/clang-format.el`` doesn't exist, look through the
files in the package providing ``clang-format`` in your distro. If you
can't find anything (eg. on Debian/Ubuntu), refer to `this StackOverflow
answer <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59690583/how-do-you-use-clang-format-on-emacs-ubuntu/59850773#59850773>`__
to install clang-format through Emacs instead.
git ``pre-commit`` hook
***********************
If your editor doesn't support this, or if you don't want to enable it, you
can always just run ``ninja clang-format`` to format everything, or add
a ``pre-commit`` hook that runs this automatically whenever you ``git
commit`` by adding the following in your ``.git/hooks/pre-commit``:
.. code:: sh
shopt -s globstar
git clang-format $upstream -- $(grep -E '^[^#]' .clang-format-include)
# replace $upstream with the name of the remote tracking upstream mesa
# if you don't know, it's probably `origin`
Basic formatting guidelines
---------------------------
- 3-space indentation, no tabs.
- Limit lines to 78 or fewer characters. The idea is to prevent line
wrapping in 80-column editors and terminals. There are exceptions,
such as if you're defining a large, static table of information.
- Opening braces go on the same line as the if/for/while statement. For
example:
.. code-block:: c
if (condition) {
foo;
} else {
bar;
}
- Put a space before/after operators. For example, ``a = b + c;`` and
not ``a=b+c;``
- This GNU indent command generally does the right thing for
formatting:
.. code-block:: console
indent -br -i3 -npcs --no-tabs infile.c -o outfile.c
- Use comments wherever you think it would be helpful for other
developers. Several specific cases and style examples follow. Note
that we roughly follow `Doxygen <https://www.doxygen.nl>`__
conventions.
Single-line comments:
.. code-block:: c
/* null-out pointer to prevent dangling reference below */
bufferObj = NULL;
Or,
.. code-block:: c
bufferObj = NULL; /* prevent dangling reference below */
Multi-line comment:
.. code-block:: c
/* If this is a new buffer object id, or one which was generated but
* never used before, allocate a buffer object now.
*/
We try to quote the OpenGL specification where prudent:
.. code-block:: c
/* Page 38 of the PDF of the OpenGL ES 3.0 spec says:
*
* "An INVALID_OPERATION error is generated for any of the following
* conditions:
*
* * <length> is zero."
*
* Additionally, page 94 of the PDF of the OpenGL 4.5 core spec
* (30.10.2014) also says this, so it's no longer allowed for desktop GL,
* either.
*/
Function comment example:
.. code-block:: c
/**
* Create and initialize a new buffer object. Called via the
* ctx->Driver.CreateObject() driver callback function.
* \param name integer name of the object
* \param type one of GL_FOO, GL_BAR, etc.
* \return pointer to new object or NULL if error
*/
struct gl_object *
_mesa_create_object(GLuint name, GLenum type)
{
/* function body */
}
- Put the function return type and qualifiers on one line and the
function name and parameters on the next, as seen above. This makes
it easy to use ``grep ^function_name dir/*`` to find function
definitions. Also, the opening brace goes on the next line by itself
(see above.)
- Function names follow various conventions depending on the type of
function:
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Convention | Explanation |
+=====================+==========================================+
| ``glFooBar()`` | a public GL entry point (in |
| | :file:`glapi_dispatch.c`) |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| ``_mesa_FooBar()`` | the internal immediate mode function |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| ``save_FooBar()`` | retained mode (display list) function in |
| | :file:`dlist.c` |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| ``foo_bar()`` | a static (private) function |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
| ``_mesa_foo_bar()`` | an internal non-static Mesa function |
+---------------------+------------------------------------------+
- Constants, macros and enum names are ``ALL_UPPERCASE``, with \_
between words.
- Mesa usually uses camel case for local variables (Ex:
``localVarname``) while Gallium typically uses underscores (Ex:
``local_var_name``).
- Global variables are almost never used because Mesa should be
thread-safe.
- Booleans. Places that are not directly visible to the GL API should
prefer the use of ``bool``, ``true``, and ``false`` over
``GLboolean``, ``GL_TRUE``, and ``GL_FALSE``. In C code, this may
mean that ``#include <stdbool.h>`` needs to be added. The
``try_emit_*`` method ``src/mesa/state_tracker/st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp``
can serve as an example.
