Hopefully the bug and patch tracking +features of Savannah help us not lose users' input. + +2.1 Source code style: + +1. do not use tabs. +2. indentation is two spaces per level (i.e. per tab). +3. end debug messages with a trailing newline (\n). +4. one space between keyword and opening bracket. +5. no space between function and opening bracket. +6. one space and no newline before opening curly braces of a block. +7. closing curly brace on a single line. +8. spaces surrounding assignment and comparisons. +9. don't initialize static and/or global variables to zero, the compiler takes care of that. +10. use current source code style as further reference. + +2.2 Source code documentation style: + +1. JavaDoc compliant and Doxygen compatible. +2. Function documentation above functions in .c files, not .h files. + (This forces you to synchronize documentation and implementation.) +3. Use current documentation style as further reference. + +2.3 Bug reports and patches: + +1. Make sure you are reporting bugs or send patches against the latest + sources. (From the latest release and/or the current CVS sources.) +2. If you think you found a bug make sure it's not already filed in the + bugtracker at Savannah. +3. If you have a fix put the patch on Savannah. If it is a patch that affects + both core and arch specific stuff please separate them so that the core can + be applied separately while leaving the other patch 'open'. The prefered way + is to NOT touch archs you can't test and let maintainers take care of them. + This is a good way to see if they are used at all - the same goes for unix + netifs except tapif. +4. Do not file a bug and post a fix to it to the patch area. Either a bug report + or a patch will be enough. + If you correct an existing bug then attach the patch to the bug rather than creating a new entry in the patch area. +5. Trivial patches (compiler warning, indentation and spelling fixes or anything obvious which takes a line or two) + can go to the lwip-users list. This is still the fastest way of interaction and the list is not so crowded + as to allow for loss of fixes. Putting bugs on Savannah and subsequently closing them is too much an overhead + for reporting a compiler warning fix. +6. Patches should be specific to a single change or to related changes.Do not mix bugfixes with spelling and other + trivial fixes unless the bugfix is trivial too.Do not reorganize code and rename identifiers in the same patch you + change behaviour if not necessary.A patch is easier to read and understand if it's to the point and short than + if it's not to the point and long :) so the chances for it to be applied are greater. + +2.4 Platform porters: + +1. If you have ported lwIP to a platform (an OS, a uC/processor or a combination of these) and + you think it could benefit others[1] you might want discuss this on the mailing list. You + can also ask for CVS access to submit and maintain your port in the contrib CVS module. +
