dingusppc/CONTRIBUTING.md

General

• Test your contributions to assure they do not break existing functionality.
• Commits to the repo should be done by portions; that is, by individual functionalities of the program.
• Don't use any disrespectful language.

Code

• Make sure the code can compile for all target systems - Windows, Linux, and macOS/Mac OS X.
• All code must be compatible with at least C++11.
• Minimize the amount of redundant code.
• Avoid using absolute paths for the headers.
• Code should maintain vertical alignment. An example of this is provided below:

one_hundred = 100; one_thousand = 1000;

** The following should be avoided:

one_hundred = 100; one_thousand = 1000;

• CamelCase for class names, lowercase for variables, UPPERCASE for enumerations
• Avoid redundancy in namespaces (i.e. use ViaCuda::read() instead of ViaCuda::cuda_read())

Issues

• When creating an issue ticket, note which version you are using.
• If possible, reference the git hashes for the relevant commits.
• Once an issue is closed, do not re-open it. Instead, reference it in a new issue ticket.
