<sect1 id="documentation"><title>Documentation Guidelines</title>
+ <para>
+ All formal documents are maintained in Docbook SGML and located in the
+ <computeroutput>doc/source/*</computeroutput> directory. You will need
+ <ulink url="http://www.docbook.org">Docbook</ulink>, the Docbook
+ DTD's and the Docbook modular stylesheets (or comparable alternatives),
+ and either <application>jade</application> or
+ <application>openjade</application> (recommended) installed in order to
+ build docs from source. Currently there is <ulink
+ url="../user-manual/index.html"><citetitle>user-manual</citetitle></ulink>,
+ <ulink url="../faq/index.html"><citetitle>FAQ</citetitle></ulink>, and, of
+ course this, the <citetitle>developer-manual</citetitle> in this format.
+ The <citetitle>README</citetitle>, <citetitle>AUTHORS</citetitle>
+ <citetitle>privoxy.1</citetitle> (man page) files are also now maintained
+ as Docbook SGML. The finished files are all in the top-level source
+ directory are generated files! Also, <filename>index.html</filename>, the
+ <application>Privoxy</application> home page, is maintained as SGML.
+ <emphasis>DO NOT edit these directly</emphasis>. Edit the SGML source, or
+ contact someone involved in the documentation (at present Stefan and
+ Hal).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Other, less formal documents (e.g. <filename>LICENSE</filename>,
+ <filename>INSTALL</filename>) are maintained as plain text files in the
+ top-level source directory. At least for the time being.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Packagers are encouraged to include this documentation. For those without
+ the ability to build the docs locally, text versions of each are kept in
+ CVS. HTML versions are also now being kept in CVS under
+ <filename>doc/webserver/*</filename>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Formal documents are built with the Makefile targets of
+ <computeroutput>make dok</computeroutput>, or alternately
+ <computeroutput>make redhat-dok</computeroutput>. If you have problems,
+ try both. The build process uses the document SGML sources in
+ <computeroutput>doc/source/*/*</computeroutput> to update all text files in
+ <computeroutput>doc/text/</computeroutput> and to update all HTML
+ documents in <computeroutput>doc/webserver/</computeroutput>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Documentation writers should please make sure documents build
+ successfully before committing to CVS, if possible.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ How do you update the webserver (i.e. the pages on privoxy.org)?
+
+ <orderedlist numeration="arabic">

+ <para>
+ Finished docs should be occasionally submitted to CVS

+ This is especially important just prior to a new release! Please

+ If you are not familiar with SGML, it is a markup language similar to HTML.
+ Actually, not a mark up language per se, but a language used to define
+ markup languages. In fact, HTML is an SGML application. Both will use
+ <quote>tags</quote> to format text and other content. SGML tags can be much
+ more varied, and flexible, but do much of the same kinds of things. The tags,
+ or <quote>elements</quote>, are definable in SGML. There is no set
+ <quote>standards</quote>. Since we are using
+ <application>Docbook</application>, our tags are those that are defined by
+ <application>Docbook</application>. Much of how the finish document is

+ The stylesheets determine how each tag gets translated to HTML, or other

+ <application>Privoxy</application> version string. You are strongly

+
+
+ <sect3 id="s3"><title>Comment, Comment, Comment</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Comment as much as possible without commenting the obvious.
+ For example do not comment "aVariable is equal to bVariable".
+ Instead explain why aVariable should be equal to the bVariable.
+ Just because a person can read code does not mean they will
+ understand why or what is being done. A reader may spend a lot
+ more time figuring out what is going on when a simple comment
+ or explanation would have prevented the extra research. Please
+ help your brother IJB'ers out!</para>
+
+ <para>The comments will also help justify the intent of the code.
+ If the comment describes something different than what the code
+ is doing then maybe a programming error is occurring.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis></para>
+<programlisting>
+/* if page size greater than 1k ... */
+if ( PageLength() > 1024 )
+{
+ ... "block" the page up ...
+}
+
+/* if page size is small, send it in blocks */
+if ( PageLength() > 1024 )
+{
+ ... "block" the page up ...
+}
+
+This demonstrates 2 cases of "what not to do". The first is a
+"syntax comment". The second is a comment that does not fit what
+is actually being done.

+ </sect3>
+
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s4"><title>Use blocks for comments</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Comments can help or they can clutter. They help when they
+ are differentiated from the code they describe. One line
+ comments do not offer effective separation between the comment
+ and the code. Block identifiers do, by surrounding the code
+ with a clear, definable pattern.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis></para>
+<programlisting>
+/*********************************************************************

+
+
+ <sect3 id="s5"><title>Keep Comments on their own line</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>It goes back to the question of readability. If the comment
+ is on the same line as the code it will be harder to read than
+ the comment that is on its own line.</para>

+ <sect3 id="s6"><title>Comment each logical step</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Logical steps should be commented to help others follow the

+
+ <para>If you have 25 lines of code without a comment, you should
+ probably go back into it to see where you forgot to put

+
+ <para>Most "for", "while", "do", etc... loops _probably_ need a

+
+
+ <sect3 id="s7"><title>Comment All Functions Thoroughly</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>A reader of the code should be able to look at the comments
+ just prior to the beginning of a function and discern the
+ reason for its existence and the consequences of using it. The
+ reader should not have to read through the code to determine if
+ a given function is safe for a desired use. The proper
+ information thoroughly presented at the introduction of a
+ function not only saves time for subsequent maintenance or
+ debugging, it more importantly aids in code reuse by allowing a
+ user to determine the safety and applicability of any function
+ for the problem at hand. As a result of such benefits, all
+ functions should contain the information presented in the
+ addendum section of this document.</para>

+
+
+ <sect3 id="s8"><title>Comment at the end of braces if the

+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Each closing brace should be followed on the same line by a

+
+ <para>As a suggestion , use the following flags to make the

+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>Compiler warnings are meant to help you find bugs. You
+ should turn on as many as possible. With GCC, the switch is
+ "-Wall". Try and fix as many warnings as possible.</para>
+
+
+ </sect3>
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s37"><title>Provide a default case for all switch
+ statements</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>What you think is guaranteed is never really guaranteed. The
+ value that you don't think you need to check is the one that
+ someday will be passed. So, to protect yourself from the
+ unknown, always have a default step in a switch statement.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis></para>
+<programlisting>
+switch( hash_string( cmd ) )
+{
+ case hash_actions_file :
+ ... code ...
+ break;
+
+ case hash_confdir :
+ ... code ...
+ break;
+
+ default :
+ log_error( ... );
+ ... anomaly code goes here ...
+ continue; / break; / exit( 1 ); / etc ...
+
+} /* end switch( hash_string( cmd ) ) */</programlisting>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Note:</emphasis> If you already have a default condition, you
+ are obviously exempt from this point. Of note, most of the
+ WIN32 code calls `DefWindowProc' after the switch statement.
+ This API call *should* be included in a default statement.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Another Note:</emphasis> This is not so much a readability issue
+ as a robust programming issue. The "anomaly code goes here" may
+ be no more than a print to the STDERR stream (as in
+ load_config). Or it may really be an ABEND condition.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Status:</emphasis> Programmer discretion is advised.</para>

+ </sect3>
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s38"><title>Try to avoid falling through cases in a
+ switch statement.</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>In general, you will want to have a 'break' statement within
+ each 'case' of a switch statement. This allows for the code to
+ be more readable and understandable, and furthermore can
+ prevent unwanted surprises if someone else later gets creative
+ and moves the code around.</para>
+
+ <para>The language allows you to plan the fall through from one
+ case statement to another simply by omitting the break
+ statement within the case statement. This feature does have
+ benefits, but should only be used in rare cases. In general,
+ use a break statement for each case statement.</para>
+
+ <para>If you choose to allow fall through, you should comment both
+ the fact of the fall through and reason why you felt it was
+ necessary.</para>
+
+
+ </sect3>
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s39"><title>Use 'long' or 'short' Instead of
+ 'int'</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>On 32-bit platforms, int usually has the range of long. On
+ 16-bit platforms, int has the range of short.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Status:</emphasis> open-to-debate. In the case of most FSF
+ projects (including X/GNU-Emacs), there are typedefs to int4,
+ int8, int16, (or equivalence ... I forget the exact typedefs
+ now). Should we add these to IJB now that we have a "configure"
+ script?</para>
+
+
+ </sect3>
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s40"><title>Don't mix size_t and other types</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>The type of size_t varies across platforms. Do not make
+ assumptions about whether it is signed or unsigned, or about
+ how long it is. Do not compare a size_t against another
+ variable of a different type (or even against a constant)
+ without casting one of the values. Try to avoid using size_t if
+ you can.</para>

+
+
+ <sect3 id="s41"><title>Declare each variable and struct on its
+ own line.</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>It can be tempting to declare a series of variables all on
+ one line. Don't.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis></para>
+<programlisting>
+long a = 0;
+long b = 0;
+long c = 0;</programlisting>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Instead of:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>long a, b, c;</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis> - there is more room for comments on the
+ individual variables - easier to add new variables without
+ messing up the original ones - when searching on a variable to
+ find its type, there is less clutter to "visually"
+ eliminate</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Exceptions:</emphasis> when you want to declare a bunch of loop

+ </sect3>
+
+
+ <sect3 id="s43"><title>The Programmer Who Uses 'malloc' is
+ Responsible for Ensuring 'free'</title>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Explanation:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>If you have to "malloc" an instance, you are responsible for
+ insuring that the instance is `free'd, even if the deallocation
+ event falls within some other programmer's code. You are also
+ responsible for ensuring that deletion is timely (i.e. not too
+ soon, not too late). This is known as "low-coupling" and is a
+ "good thing (tm)". You may need to offer a
+ free/unload/destuctor type function to accommodate this.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Example:</emphasis></para>
+<programlisting>
+int load_re_filterfile( struct client_state *csp ) { ... }
+static void unload_re_filterfile( void *f ) { ... }</programlisting>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Exceptions:</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>The developer cannot be expected to provide `free'ing
+ functions for C run-time library functions ... such as
+ `strdup'.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Status:</emphasis> developer-discretion. The "main" use of this

+
+ <para><emphasis>Note:</emphasis> It may appear that the alpha order is broken in
