fp@2126: This is a short introduction to the coding style that shall be used. The below
fp@2126: rules are applicable for all C source files, except the Ethernet drivers, for
fp@2126: which the Linux Kernel coding style shall be used to minimize the
fp@2126: differences).
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * Lines shall not exceed 78 characters.
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * Indentation shall be done using 4 space characters
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * No whitespace shall be left at the end of a line.
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * After a comma, a single space shall be placed (if not followed by a
fp@2126:   line break).
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * Braces shall be placed in the following way (K&R style):
fp@2126: 
fp@2126:     if (...) {
fp@2126:         ...
fp@2126:     } else if (...) {
fp@2126:         ...
fp@2126:     } else {
fp@2126:         ...
fp@2126:     }
fp@2126:

fp@2126:         ...
fp@2126:     }
fp@2126: 
fp@2126: * Macros shall be named in CAPITAL letters. If a macro contains multiple
fp@2126:   statements, they should be enclosed by a 'do {} while (0)' loop. Macro
fp@2126:   parameters shall also be capital letters and shall be enclosed py parantheses
fp@2126:   if necessary.

fp@2126:         do { \
fp@2126:             if ((A) == 1) { \
fp@2126:                 statement(B); \
fp@2126:         } while (0)
