header files

[j0mbolar]

out of curiosity, what conventions do you guys use for header files?

[1] include guards

[2] type definitions

[3] prototypes

[4] #defines

[5] end of include guard

I would like to see what most of you use to see what the common convention is.

I would like to see what most of you use to see what the common
convention is.

My personnal code generator makes that for headers:

#ifndef H_ED_HEADER_20040306204849
#define H_ED_HEADER_20040306204849

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

/* macros ============================================================== */
/* constants =========================================================== */
/* types =============================================================== */
/* structures ========================================================== */
/* internal public functions =========================================== */
/* entry points ======================================================== */
/* public variables ==================================================== */

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

#endif /* guard */

/* Guards added by GUARD (c) AETA 2000-2003 Jun 25 2003 Ver. 1.6 */

It's a preprocessor device to stop the same file from being #included
more than once. It looks something like this:

#ifndef GUARD
#include <foo.h>
#define GUARD
#endif

Got it, thanks a lot.

[1] include guards

#ifndef H_MODULE_NAME
#define H_MODULE_NAME

[2] type definitions

struct Tag_Name
{
/* contents */
};
typedef struct Tag_Name Tag_Name;

[3] prototypes

void My_Function(unsigned int count,
const char * name);

[4] #defines

#define MAX_ROWS 6
#define MAX_COLUMNS 8
#define ASIC_CLEAR_BIT (1 << 4)u

[5] end of include guard

#endif /* H_MODULE_NAME */

I would like to see what most of you use to see what the common convention is.

in comp.lang.c i read:

this has been discussed many times. how can you stand posting from google
but not using it's search feature? (which phenomena is hardly new either.)
