Revert my commit in r199620 that added sections about namespaces to the
coding standards, and instead fix the existing section. Thanks to Daniel Jasper for pointing out we already had a section devoted to this topic. Instead of adding sections, just hack on this section some. Also fix the example in the anonymous namespace section below it to agree with the new advice. As a re-cap, this switches the LLVM preferred style to never indent namespaces. Having two approaches just led to endless (and utterly pointless) debates about what was "small enough". This wasn't helping anyone. The no-indent rule is easy to understand and doesn't really make anything harder to read. Moreover, with tools like clang-format it is considerably nicer to have simple consistent rules. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@199637 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Namespace Markers

We don't indent namespaces (see below) and so feel free to add markers to the
|
||||
end of a namespace where it helps readabilitily:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++
|

namespace foo {

// Lots of code here...

} // End foo namespace
|
||||
|

This isn't required, and in many cases (such as the namespace used for an
|
||||
entire file like the 'llvm' namespace in header files) it isn't really useful.
|
||||
Use your judgment and add it where it helps.

@ -1234,46 +1190,10 @@ Namespace Indentation
|
||||
|
||||
In general, we strive to reduce indentation wherever possible. This is useful
|
||||
because we want code to `fit into 80 columns`_ without wrapping horribly, but
|
||||
also because it makes it easier to understand the code. Namespaces are a funny
|
||||
thing: they are often large, and we often desire to put lots of stuff into them
|
||||
(so they can be large). Other times they are tiny, because they just hold an
|
||||
enum or something similar. In order to balance this, we use different
|
||||
approaches for small versus large namespaces.
|
||||
|
||||
If a namespace definition is small and *easily* fits on a screen (say, less than
|
||||
35 lines of code), then you should indent its body. Here's an example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++
|
||||
|
||||
namespace llvm {
|
||||
namespace X86 {
|
||||
/// \brief An enum for the x86 relocation codes. Note that
|
||||
/// the terminology here doesn't follow x86 convention - word means
|
||||
/// 32-bit and dword means 64-bit.
|
||||
enum RelocationType {
|
||||
/// \brief PC relative relocation, add the relocated value to
|
||||
/// the value already in memory, after we adjust it for where the PC is.
|
||||
reloc_pcrel_word = 0,
|
||||
|
||||
/// \brief PIC base relative relocation, add the relocated value to
|
||||
/// the value already in memory, after we adjust it for where the
|
||||
/// PIC base is.
|
||||
reloc_picrel_word = 1,
|
||||
|
||||
/// \brief Absolute relocation, just add the relocated value to the
|
||||
/// value already in memory.
|
||||
reloc_absolute_word = 2,
|
||||
reloc_absolute_dword = 3
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Since the body is small, indenting adds value because it makes it very clear
|
||||
where the namespace starts and ends, and it is easy to take the whole thing in
|
||||
in one "gulp" when reading the code. If the blob of code in the namespace is
|
||||
larger (as it typically is in a header in the ``llvm`` or ``clang`` namespaces),
|
||||
do not indent the code, and add a comment indicating what namespace is being
|
||||
closed. For example:
|
||||
also because it makes it easier to understand the code. To facilitate this and
|
||||
avoid some insanely deep nesting on occasion, don't indent namespaces. If it
|
||||
helps readability, feel free to add a comment indicating what namespace is
|
||||
being closed by a ``}``. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: c++

Because the class is large, we don't expect that the reader can easily
|
||||
understand the entire concept in a glance, and the end of the file (where the
|
||||
namespaces end) may be a long ways away from the place they open. As such,
|
||||
indenting the contents of the namespace doesn't add any value, and detracts from
|
||||
the readability of the class. In these cases it is best to *not* indent the
|
||||
contents of the namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
Feel free to skip the closing comment when the namespace being closed is
|
||||
obvious for any reason. For example, the outer-most namespace in a header file
|
||||
is rarely a source of confusion. But namespaces both anonymous and named in
|
||||
source files that are being closed half way through the file probably could use
|
||||
clarification.
