HACKING

@ -16,17 +16,27 @@ General notes and rules on clutter core hacking;
- All public functions with float parameters should also provide a fixed
point version. Fixed point should be used internally.
- Properties should always be float (never fixed).
- All public functions dealing with pixels should also provide a
ClutterUnit version. ClutterUnit should be used internally.
- API funcs should always check their arguments with g_return_*().
- Properties should always be in floating point (never fixed point).
The precision should be double for unbounded properties (e.g.
(-MAX_DOUBLE, MAX_DOUBLE)), and single for bounded properties (e.g.:
[0.0, 1.0]).
- Really try to avoid if possible additions to clutter-private.h
- Public entry points must always check their arguments with
g_return_if_fail() or g_return_val_if_fail().
- Private entry points should use g_assert() to verify internal state.
- Really try to avoid if possible additions to clutter-private.h. Use
accessor functions instead.
- Don't add direct GL calls but wrap with cogl (also adding GL ES Version)
- Use CLUTTER_NOTE() macro for debug statements.
- New features should also include an exhaustive test in tests/
- New features should also include an exhaustive test unit under tests.
