21. Project-Dependent Standards

Individual projects may wish to establish additional standards beyond those given here. The following issues are some of those that should be addressed by each project program administration group.

• What additional naming conventions should be followed? In particular, systematic prefix conventions for functional grouping of global data and also for structure or union member names can be useful.

• What kind of include file organization is appropriate for the project's particular data hierarchy?

• What procedures should be established for reviewing lint complaints? A tolerance level needs to be established in concert with the lint options to prevent unimportant complaints from hiding complaints about real bugs or inconsistencies.

• If a project establishes its own archive libraries, it should plan on supplying a lint library file [2] to the system administrators. The lint library file allows lint to check for compatible use of library functions.

• What kind of revision control needs to be used?
