Checklist
Doxygen
(bullet points are in order of appearance)
- [ ] First line explains briefly what the function does
- [ ] first entry in meta-information
- [ ] Simple example or snippet how to use the function
- [x] Longer description of function containing common use cases
- [ ] Description of functions reads nicely
- [ ] Use it -> Use this function
- [ ] -then
- [ ] So you want -> Afterwards, when you want to iterate the meta-information, you have
- [ ] to use
keyNextMeta()
- [ ]
@pre
- [x] add 'key must be a valid key'
- [ ]
@post
- [x] add 'key stays valid'
- [x] add 'internal iterator set to first entry in metadata'
- [ ]
@invariant
- [ ]
@param
for every parameter
- [ ] key: Key whose internal iterator should be rewinded
- [ ]
@return
/ @retval
- [ ] move success to normal

Naming
- Abbreviations used in function names must be defined in the Glossary
- [x] Function names should neither be too long, nor too short
- [x] Function name should be clear and unambiguous
- Abbreviations used in parameter names must be defined in the Glossary
- [x] Parameter names should neither be too long, nor too short
- [x] Parameter names should be clear and unambiguous
Compatibility
(only in PRs)
- Symbol versioning is correct for breaking changes
- ABI/API changes are forward-compatible (breaking backwards-compatibility to add additional symbols is fine)
Parameter & Return Types
- [x] Function parameters should use enum types instead of boolean types wherever sensible
- [x] Wherever possible, function parameters should be
const
- [x] Wherever possible, return types should be
const
- [x] Functions should have the least amount of parameters feasible
Structural Clarity
- [x] Functions should do exactly one thing
- [x] Function name has the appropriate prefix
- [x] Order of signatures in kdb.h.in is the same as Doxygen
- [x] No functions with similar purpose exist
Memory Management
- Memory Management should be handled by the function wherever possible
Extensibility
- [x] Function is easily extensible, e.g., with flags
- [x] Documentation does not impose limits, that would hinder further extensions
Tests
- [x] Function code is fully covered by tests
- [ ] All possible error states are covered by tests
- [x] add test for null pointer
- All possible enum values are covered by tests
- [x] No inconsistencies between tests and documentation
