Don't break lines indiscriminately, try to find nice +breaking points so your code is easy to read. + +### Names + +Global function and type names should be prefixed with `sway_submodule_` (e.g. +`struct sway_output`, `sway_output_destroy`). For static functions and +types local to a file, the names chosen aren't as important. Static functions +shouldn't have a `sway_` prefix. + +For include guards, use the header's filename relative to include. Uppercase +all of the characters, and replace any invalid characters with an underscore. + +### Construction/Destruction Functions + +For functions that are responsible for constructing and destructing an object, +they should be written as a pair of one of two forms: + +* `init`/`finish`: These initialize/deinitialize a type, but are **NOT** + responsible for allocating it. They should accept a pointer to some + pre-allocated memory (e.g. a member of a struct). +* `create`/`destroy`: These also initialize/deinitialize, but will return a + pointer to a `malloc`ed chunk of memory, and will `free` it in `destroy`. + +A destruction function should always be able to accept a NULL pointer or a +zeroed value and exit cleanly; this simplifies error handling a lot. + +### Error Codes + +For functions not returning a value, they should return a (stdbool.h) bool to +indicated if they succeeded or not. + +### Macros + +Keep the use of macros to a minimum, especially if a function can do the job. If +you do need to use them, try to keep them close to where they're being used and +`#undef` them after. + +### Example + +```c +struct wlr_backend *wlr_backend_autocreate(struct wl_display *display) { + struct wlr_backend *backend; + if (getenv("WAYLAND_DISPLAY") || getenv("_WAYLAND_DISPLAY")) { + backend = attempt_wl_backend(display); + if (backend) { + return backend; } } - while (wl_display_dispatch(registry->display) != -1); - - for (i = 0; i < surfaces->length; ++i) { - struct window *window = surfaces->items[i]; - window_teardown(window); + const char *x11_display = getenv("DISPLAY"); + if (x11_display) { + return wlr_x11_backend_create(display, x11_display); } - list_free(surfaces); - registry_teardown(registry); - return 0; + + // Attempt DRM+libinput + + struct wlr_session *session = wlr_session_create(display); + if (!session) { + wlr_log(WLR_ERROR, "Failed to start a DRM session"); + return NULL; + } + + int gpu = wlr_session_find_gpu(session); + if (gpu == -1) { + wlr_log(WLR_ERROR, "Failed to open DRM device"); + goto error_session; + } + + backend = wlr_multi_backend_create(session); + if (!backend) { + goto error_gpu; + } + + struct wlr_backend *libinput = wlr_libinput_backend_create(display, session); + if (!libinput) { + goto error_multi; + } + + struct wlr_backend *drm = wlr_drm_backend_create(display, session, gpu); + if (!drm) { + goto error_libinput; + } + + wlr_multi_backend_add(backend, libinput); + wlr_multi_backend_add(backend, drm); + return backend; + +error_libinput: + wlr_backend_destroy(libinput); +error_multi: + wlr_backend_destroy(backend); +error_gpu: + wlr_session_close_file(session, gpu); +error_session: + wlr_session_destroy(session); + return NULL; } ```
