  81. <div class="textblock"><h2>Background </h2>
  82. <p>Here we document style rules for C usage in the gRPC Core library.</p>
  83. <h2>General </h2>
  84. <ul>
  85. <li>Layout rules are defined by clang-format, and all code should be passed through clang-format. A (docker-based) script to do so is included in <a href="../tools/distrib/clang_format_code.sh">tools/distrib/clang\_format\_code.sh</a>.</li>
  86. </ul>
  87. <h2>Header Files </h2>
  88. <ul>
  89. <li>Public header files (those in the include/grpc tree) should compile as pedantic C89.</li>
  90. <li>Public header files should be includable from C++ programs. That is, they should include the following: ```c #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { <h1>endif</h1>
  91. </li>
  92. </ul>
  93. <p>/* ... body of file ...</p>
  94. <p>#ifdef __cplusplus } </p>
  95. <h1>endif</h1>
  96. <p>```</p>
  97. <ul>
  98. <li>Header files should be self-contained and end in .h.</li>
  99. <li><p class="startli">All header files should have a #define guard to prevent multiple inclusion. To guarantee uniqueness they should be based on the file's path.</p>
  100. <p class="startli">For public headers: <code><a class="el" href="grpc_8h.html">include/grpc/grpc.h</a></code> → <code>GRPC_GRPC_H</code></p>
  101. <p class="startli">For private headers: <code>src/core/channel/channel_stack.h</code> → <code>GRPC_INTERNAL_CORE_CHANNEL_CHANNEL_STACK_H</code></p>
  102. </li>
  103. </ul>
  104. <h2>Variable Initialization </h2>
  105. <p>When declaring a (non-static) pointer variable, always initialize it to <code>NULL</code>. Even in the case of static pointer variables, it's recommended to explicitly initialize them to <code>NULL</code>.</p>
  106. <h2>C99 Features </h2>
  107. <ul>
  108. <li>Variable sized arrays are not allowed.</li>
  109. <li>Do not use the 'inline' keyword.</li>
  110. <li>Flexible array members are allowed (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member</a>).</li>
  111. </ul>
  112. <h2>Comments </h2>
  113. <p>Within public header files, only <code>/*</code> comments are allowed.</p>
  114. <p>Within implementation files and private headers, either single line <code>//</code> or multi line <code>/*</code> comments are allowed. Only one comment style per file is allowed however (i.e. if single line comments are used anywhere within a file, ALL comments within that file must be single line comments).</p>
  115. <h2>Symbol Names </h2>
  116. <ul>
  117. <li>Non-static functions must be prefixed by <code>grpc_</code></li>
  118. <li>Static functions must <em>not</em> be prefixed by <code>grpc_</code></li>
  119. <li>Enumeration values and <code>#define</code> names must be uppercase. All other values must be lowercase.</li>
  120. <li>Multiple word identifiers use underscore as a delimiter, <em>never</em> camel case. E.g. <code>variable_name</code>.</li>
  121. </ul>
  122. <h2>Functions </h2>
  123. <ul>
  124. <li>The use of <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/atexit.3.html">`atexit()`</a> is in forbidden in libgrpc. </li>
  125. </ul>
