-Tips for hacking on libvirt-dbus
-================================
-
-Here is where to get code:
-
-```
-$ git clone
https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt-dbus.git
-```
-
-Alternatively you can use one of the mirrors:
-
-[https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus](https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus)
-[https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus](https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus)
-
-
-Running from git repository
----------------------------
-
- * The first step is to run meson to create build directory:
-
- ```
- meson build
- ```
-
- Now you can compile libvirt-dbus:
-
- ```
- ninja -C build
- ```
-
-
- * Before posting a patch, you should run tests:
-
- ```
- ninja -C build test
- ```
-
- The test tool requires python3, python3-pytest, python3-dbus and flake8.
-
- It is possible to run only specific test using:
-
- ```
- meson test -C build $test-name
- ```
-
- or a group of tests:
-
- ```
- meson test -C build --suite $label
- ```
-
- For more information see
[
https://mesonbuild.com/Unit-tests.html#testing-tool](https://mesonbuild.c....
-
-
- * To run libvirt-dbus directly from the build dir without installing it
- use the run script:
-
- ```
- ./run ./src/libvirt-dbus
- ```
-
-
-Coding style rules
-------------------
-
- * Opening & closing braces for functions should be at start of line:
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar)
- {
- ...
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar) {
- ...
- }
- ```
-
- * Opening brace for if/while/for loops should be at the end of line:
-
- ```
- if (foo) {
- bar;
- wizz;
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- if (foo)
- {
- bar;
- wizz;
- }
- ```
-
- Rationale: putting every if/while/for opening brace on a new line
- expands function length too much.
-
-
- * If a brace needs to be used for one clause in an if/else statement,
- it should be used for both clauses, even if the other clauses are
- only single statements. eg:
-
- ```
- if (foo) {
- bar;
- wizz;
- } else {
- eek;
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- if (foo) {
- bar;
- wizz;
- } else
- eek;
- ```
-
-
- * Function parameter attribute annotations should follow the parameter
- name, eg:
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar G_GNUC_UNUSED)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- int
- foo(G_GNUC_UNUSED int bar)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Rationale: Adding / removing G_GNUC_UNUSED should not cause the
- rest of the line to move around since that obscures diffs.
-
-
- * There should be no space between function names & open brackets eg:
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- int
- foo (int bar)
- {
- }
- ```
-
-
- * To keep lines under 80 characters (where practical), multiple parameters
- should be on new lines. Do not attempt to line up parameters vertically eg:
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar,
- unsigned long wizz)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar, unsigned long wizz)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Not
-
- ```
- int
- foo(int bar,
- unsigned long wizz)
- {
- }
- ```
-
- Rationale: attempting vertical alignment causes bigger diffs when
- modifying code if type names change causing whitespace re-alignment.
