Coding rules, conventions and considerations

Rules:

• NO unused variables
• NO hard codes
• Use header guard when declare a header file and its implementation file
• Follow RAII rules
• Follow Rule of three
• Unused method must throw Unimplemented exception

Conventions:

• Private method should have name with prefix _
• Class name must be in CamelCase with first letter capitalized
• Method name must be in camelCase with first letter in lowercase
• Header guard name must be __CAPITALIZED_SNAKE_CASE__ with prefix & postfix are __. Example: __COMMON_H__
• Filename must be in snake case snake_case

Consider to:

• Use inline function when task has a seperate logic from other bodies of code
• Use const for not modified variables and parameters
• Use typedef to set variable's type a meaningful name
• Pass by reference for object values
• Minimalize dependencies as much as possible
