# Coding Style
The Lean project is moving away from using any C++ as more and more of
the compiler is being bootstrapped in Lean itself. But the remaining
C++ codebase is using modified version of [Google's C++ Style
Guide][google-style].
## [C++11](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B11) features
Lean makes extensive use of new features in the C++ 11 standard.
Developers must be familiar with the standard to be able to understand
the code. Here are some of the features that are extensively used.
- Type inference (aka `auto` keyword).
- Initializer lists.
- Lambda functions and expressions.
- `nullptr` constant.
- Strongly typed enumerations.
- Right angle brackets with no space is now allowed in C++ 11.
- Thread local storage.
- Threading facilities.
- Tuple types.
- Smart pointers.
- When using ``std::list`` make sure to include the `std::`
qualifier so you do not accidentally use the ``lean::list`` type.
- When using ``std::copy`` make sure to include the `std::`
qualifier so you do not accidentally use the ``lean::copy`` type.
- Small and focused functions are preferred: foo(). Try not to
exceed 500 lines in a function, except in tests.
- Do **not** use the `#ifndef-#define-#endif` idiom for header files.
Instead use `#pragma once`.
- Write `type const & v` instead of `const type & v`.
- Use `const` extensively.
- Use the macro `lean_assert` for assertions. The macro `lean_assert`
is extensively used when writing unit tests.
## Naming
- Class, method, and function names are lower case
Use `_` for composite names. Example: `type_checker`.
- Class/struct fields should start with the prefix `m_`.
Example:
```c++
class point {
int m_x;
int m_y;
public:
...
};
```
## Namespaces
All code is in the `lean` namespace. Each frontend is stored in a
separate nested namespace. For example, the SMT 2.0 frontend is stored
in the `lean::smt` namespace.
Exception: some debugging functions are stored outside of the `lean`
namespace. These functions are called `print` and are meant to be used
when debugging Lean using `gdb`.
Do not use `using namespace` in a header file.
## Templates
Organize template source code using the approach described at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3515/How-To-Organize-Template-Source-Code
## Idioms
Use some popular C++ idioms:
- [Pimpl](http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PimplIdiom)
- [RAII](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Acquisition_Is_Initialization) Resource Acquisition Is Initialization
## Formatting
* Use 4 spaces for indentation.
* `if-then-else` curly brackets not always required. The following
forms are acceptable:
```c++
if (cond) {
...
} else {
...
}
```
and
```c++
if (cond)
statement1;
else
statement2;
```
In *exceptional cases*, we also use
```c++
if (cond) statement;
```
and
```c++
if (cond) statement1; else stament2;
```
* `if-then-else-if-else`
The following forms are acceptable:
```c++
if (cond) {
...
} else if (cond) {
...
} else {
...
}
```c++
and
```c++
if (cond)
statement1;
else if (cond)
statement2;
else
statement3;
```
* Format code using extra spaces to make code more readable. For example:
```c++
environment const & m_env;
cache m_cache;
normalizer m_normalizer;
volatile bool m_interrupted;
```
instead of:
```c++
environment const & m_env;
cache m_cache;
normalizer m_normalizer;
volatile bool m_interrupted;
```
* Spaces in expressions. Write `a == b` instead of `a==b`. Similarly,
we write `x < y + 1` instead of `x<y+1`.

Fixing Tests
============
The test suite contains some tests that compare the produced output
with the expected output. For example, the directory `tests/lean`
contains files such as [`bad_class.lean`](../tests/lean/bad_class.lean) and
[`bad_class.lean.expected.out`](../tests/lean/bad_class.lean.expected.out).
The later contains the expected output for the test file `bad_class.lean`.
When the Lean source code or the standard library are modified, some of these
tests break because the produced output is slightly different, and we have
to reflect the changes in the `.lean.expected.out` files.
We should not blindly copy the new produced output since we may accidentally
miss a bug introduced by recent changes.
The test suite contains commands that allow us to see what changed in a convenient way.
First, we must install [meld](http://meldmerge.org/). On Ubuntu, we can do it by simply executing
```
sudo apt-get install meld
```
Now, suppose `bad_class.lean` test is broken. We can see the problem by going to `test/lean` directory and
executing
```
./test_single.sh -i bad_class.lean
```
When the `-i` option is provided, `meld` is automatically invoked
whenever there is discrepancy between the produced and expected
outputs. `meld` can also be used to repair the problems.
In Emacs, we can also execute `M-x lean4-diff-test-file` to check/diff the file of the current buffer.
To mass-copy all `.produced.out` files to the respective `.expected.out` file, use `tests/lean/copy-produced`.
When using the Nix setup, add `--keep-failed` to the `nix build` call and then call
```sh
tests/lean/copy-produced <build-dir>/source/tests/lean
```
instead where `<build-dir>` is the path printed out by `nix build`.

You will notice there is a `stage0` folder. This is for bootstrapping
the compiler development. Generally you do not change any code in
`stage0` manually. It is important that you read [bootstrapping
pipeline](bootstrap.md) so you understand how this works.
If you want to make changes to Lean itself, start by [building Lean](../make/index.html) from a clean checkout to make sure that everything is set up correctly.
After that, read on below to find out how to set up your editor for changing the Lean source code, followed by further sections of the development manual where applicable such as on the [test suite](testing.md) and [commit convention](commit_convention.md).
The dev team uses `elan` to manage which `lean` toolchain to use
locally and `elan` can be used to setup the version of Lean you are
manually building. This means you generally do not use `make
install`. You use `elan` instead.
If you are planning to make any changes that may affect the compilation of Lean itself, e.g. changes to the parser, elaborator, or compiler, you should first read about the [bootstrapping pipeline](bootstrap.md).
You should not edit the `stage0` directory except using the commands described in that section when necessary.
## Development Setup
You can use any of the [supported editors](../setup.md) for editing
the Lean source code. If you set up `elan` as below, opening `src/` as
a *workspace folder* should ensure that stage 0 will be used for file
in that directory.
