Compiler compatibility ====================== You can (and should) use more modern C++ coding practices. Including auto, lambdas, smart pointers etc. You can use anything that GCC 4.7 can compile. These are the compilers you need to test your patches against: - GCC 4.7 - LLVM/Clang 3.1 When you set up different builds alongside the main one, you can use scripts/commit.sh to build them all before committing. The script calls git commit if all builds finished successfully. See the script for more info. File naming =========== The service, and the rest of the repository should be in camel-case (with the exception of source files that don't have corresponding headers, or vice-versa). CONVENIENCE MACROS AND METHODS ============================== There are some convenience macros and methods defined in the headers placed in the service/utils/ directory. D_PTR ----- d_ptr.h and d_ptr_implementation.h define a smart pointer way of doing the d-ptr (aka pimpl) idiom. remove_if --------- remove_if.h is a generic implementation of the erase-remove idiom for_each_assoc, find_if_assoc ----------------------------- for_each_assoc.h and find_if_assoc.h define the for_each and find_if algorithms for associative containers. Works with both Qt and STL containers.
