This is a documentation page for the ConventionalC framework.
Introduction
ConventionalC is a powerful framework for writing clean and maintainable C code. It provides a set of conventions and best practices to follow, resulting in code that is easier to read, understand, and modify.
Installation
To get started with ConventionalC, follow these steps:
- Open Terminal and navigate to your project directory.
- Run the command
git clone https://github.com/conventionalc/conventionalc.git
to clone the ConventionalC repository. - Include the ConventionalC headers in your project by adding
#include "conventionalc.h"
to your source files.
Usage
To use ConventionalC in your project, follow these guidelines:
- Naming Conventions: Use camelCase for variable and function names. Avoid single-letter variable names. Use descriptive names that convey the purpose of the entity.
- Formatting: Follow the indentation style and braces placement rules defined in the ConventionalC style guide. Use spaces instead of tabs for indentation.
- Error Handling: Always check the return values of functions that can fail. Handle errors gracefully and provide informative error messages to the user.
- Module Organization: Split your code into logical modules. Each module should have a clear responsibility and should not be excessively large.
- Documentation: Use meaningful comments to explain the purpose and behavior of functions, variables, and modules. Inline comments should be used sparingly and only when necessary to clarify complex code.
API Reference
ConventionalC.h
This header file provides the main functionality of the ConventionalC framework.
Example Code
Here is a simple example that demonstrates the usage of ConventionalC:
“`c
#include “conventionalc.h”
int main() {
int x = 5;
int y = 10;
int sum = cc_add(x, y);
printf(“The sum of %d and %d is %d\n”, x, y, sum);
return 0;
}
“`
Conclusion
ConventionalC is a valuable tool for C developers who want to write clean and maintainable code. By following the conventions and best practices provided by the framework, you can improve the readability and modifiability of your projects.
