There are now both http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/JoelsCodingStyleCheatSheet and http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdbint/Coding-Standards.html (the former explains it) I believe these notes belong more to gdbint.texinfo. > Otherwise, I am afraid this e-mail will get lost in the > archives and nobody will notice it in a few weeks. Its purpose was to act first as a discussion subject before some final form which I did not think much about so far. While it may be clear I have found there are some disagreements so possible changes to the rules could have also effect on the final / largest patchset check-in. > I can create the page if you agree with it. But you are right it would be best, after it gets approved (at least by a timeout) it would be great to move it to gdbint.texinfo, or I could. Thanks, Jan
