Their purpose is to make the GNU system clean, +consistent, and easy to install. This document can also be read as a +guide to write portable, robust and reliable programs. It focuses on +programs written in C, but many of the rules and principles are useful +even if you write in another programming language. The rules often +state reasons for writing in a certain way. + + Corrections or suggestions regarding this document should be sent to +`gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu'. If you make a suggestion, please include a +suggested new wording for it; our time is limited. We prefer a context +diff to the `standards.texi' or `make-stds.texi' files, but if you +don't have those files, please mail your suggestion anyway. + + This release of the GNU Coding Standards was last updated 21 +September 1994. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Reading Non-Free Code, Next: Contributions, Prev: Preface, Up: Top + +Referring to Proprietary Programs +********************************* + + Don't in any circumstances refer to Unix source code for or during +your work on GNU! (Or to any other proprietary programs.) + + If you have a vague recollection of the internals of a Unix program, +this does not absolutely mean you can't write an imitation of it, but +do try to organize the imitation internally along different lines, +because this is likely to make the details of the Unix version +irrelevant and dissimilar to your results. + + For example, Unix utilities were generally optimized to minimize +memory use; if you go for speed instead, your program will be very +different. You could keep the entire input file in core and scan it +there instead of using stdio. Use a smarter algorithm discovered more +recently than the Unix program. Eliminate use of temporary files. Do +it in one pass instead of two (we did this in the assembler). + + Or, on the contrary, emphasize simplicity instead of speed. For some +applications, the speed of today's computers makes simpler algorithms +adequate. + + Or go for generality. For example, Unix programs often have static +tables or fixed-size strings, which make for arbitrary limits; use +dynamic allocation instead. Make sure your program handles NULs and +other funny characters in the input files. Add a programming language +for extensibility and write part of the program in that language. + + Or turn some parts of the program into independently usable +libraries. Or use a simple garbage collector instead of tracking +precisely when to free memory, or use a new GNU facility such as +obstacks. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Contributions, Next: Change Logs, Prev: Reading Non-Free Code, Up: Top + +Accepting Contributions +*********************** + + If someone else sends you a piece of code to add to the program you +are working on, we need legal papers to use it--the same sort of legal +papers we will need to get from you. *Each* significant contributor to +a program must sign some sort of legal papers in order for us to have +clear title to the program. The main author alone is not enough. + + So, before adding in any contributions from other people, tell us so +we can arrange to get the papers. Then wait until we tell you that we +have received the signed papers, before you actually use the +contribution. + + This applies both before you release the program and afterward. If +you receive diffs to fix a bug, and they make significant change, we +need legal papers for it. + + You don't need papers for changes of a few lines here or there, since +they are not significant for copyright purposes. Also, you don't need +papers if all you get from the suggestion is some ideas, not actual code +which you use. For example, if you write a different solution to the +problem, you don't need to get papers. + + I know this is frustrating; it's frustrating for us as well. But if +you don't wait, you are going out on a limb--for example, what if the +contributor's employer won't sign a disclaimer? You might have to take +that code out again! + + The very worst thing is if you forget to tell us about the other +contributor. We could be very embarrassed in court some day as a +result. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Change Logs, Next: Compatibility, Prev: Contributions, Up: Top + +Change Logs +*********** + + Keep a change log for each directory, describing the changes made to +source files in that directory. The purpose of this is so that people +investigating bugs in the future will know about the changes that might +have introduced the bug. Often a new bug can be found by looking at +what was recently changed. More importantly, change logs can help +eliminate conceptual inconsistencies between different parts of a +program; they can give you a history of how the conflicting concepts +arose. + + Use the Emacs command `M-x add-change' to start a new entry in the +change log. An entry should have an asterisk, the name of the changed +file, and then in parentheses the name of the changed functions, +variables or whatever, followed by a colon. Then describe the changes +you made to that function or variable. + + Separate unrelated entries with blank lines. When two entries +represent parts of the same change, so that they work together, then +don't put blank lines between them. Then you can omit the file name +and the asterisk when successive entries are in the same file. + + Here are some examples: + + * register.el (insert-register): Return nil. + (jump-to-register): Likewise. + + * sort.el (sort-subr): Return nil. + + * tex-mode.el (tex-bibtex-file, tex-file, tex-region): + Restart the tex shell if process is gone or stopped. + (tex-shell-running): New function. + + * expr.c (store_one_arg): Round size up for move_block_to_reg. + (expand_call): Round up when emitting USE insns. + * stmt.c (assign_parms): Round size up for move_block_from_reg. + + It's important to name the changed function or variable in full. +Don't abbreviate them; don't combine them. Subsequent maintainers will +often search for a function name to find all the change log entries that +pertain to it; if you abbreviate the name, they won't find it when they +search. For example, some people are tempted to abbreviate groups of +function names by writing `* register.el ({insert,jump-to}-register)'; +this is not a good idea, since searching for `jump-to-register' or +`insert-register' would not find the entry. + + There's no need to describe the full purpose of the changes or how +they work together. It is better to put such explanations in comments +in the code. That's why just "New function" is enough; there is a +comment with the function in the source to explain what it does. + + However, sometimes it is useful to write one line to describe the +overall purpose of a large batch of changes. + + You can think of the change log as a conceptual "undo list" which +explains how earlier versions were different from the current version. +People can see the current version; they don't need the change log to +tell them what is in it. What they want from a change log is a clear +explanation of how the earlier version differed. + + When you change the calling sequence of a function in a simple +fashion, and you change all the callers of the function, there is no +need to make individual entries for all the callers. Just write in the +entry for the function being called, "All callers changed." + + When you change just comments or doc strings, it is enough to write +an entry for the file, without mentioning the functions. Write just, +"Doc fix." There's no need to keep a change log for documentation +files. This is because documentation is not susceptible to bugs that +are hard to fix. Documentation does not consist of parts that must +interact in a precisely engineered fashion; to correct an error, you +need not know the history of the erroneous passage. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Compatibility, Next: Makefile Conventions, Prev: Change Logs, Up: Top + +Compatibility with Other Implementations +**************************************** + + With certain exceptions, utility programs and libraries for GNU +should be upward compatible with those in Berkeley Unix, and upward +compatible with ANSI C if ANSI C specifies their behavior, and upward +compatible with POSIX if POSIX specifies their behavior. + + When these standards conflict, it is useful to offer compatibility +modes for each of them. + + ANSI C and POSIX prohibit many kinds of extensions. Feel free to +make the extensions anyway, and include a `--ansi' or `--compatible' +option to turn them off. However, if the extension has a significant +chance of breaking any real programs or scripts, then it is not really +upward compatible. Try to redesign its interface. + + Many GNU programs suppress extensions that conflict with POSIX if the +environment variable `POSIXLY_CORRECT' is defined (even if it is +defined with a null value). Please make your program recognize this +variable if appropriate. + + When a feature is used only by users (not by programs or command +files), and it is done poorly in Unix, feel free to replace it +completely with something totally different and better. (For example, +vi is replaced with Emacs.) But it is nice to offer a compatible +feature as well. (There is a free vi clone, so we offer it.) + + Additional useful features not in Berkeley Unix are welcome. +Additional programs with no counterpart in Unix may be useful, but our +first priority is usually to duplicate what Unix already has. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Makefile Conventions, Next: Configuration, Prev: Compatibility, Up: Top + +Makefile Conventions +******************** + + This chapter describes conventions for writing the Makefiles for GNU +programs. + +* Menu: + +* Makefile Basics:: +* Utilities in Makefiles:: +* Standard Targets:: +* Command Variables:: +* Directory Variables:: + + +File: standards.info, Node: Makefile Basics, Next: Utilities in Makefiles, Up: Makefile Conventions + +General Conventions for Makefiles +================================= + + Every Makefile should contain this line: + + SHELL = /bin/sh + +to avoid trouble on systems where the `SHELL' variable might be +inherited from the environment. (This is never a problem with GNU +`make'.) + + Different `make' programs have incompatible suffix lists and +implicit rules, and this sometimes creates confusion or misbehavior. So +it is a good idea to set the suffix list explicitly using only the +suffixes you need in the particular Makefile, like this: + + .SUFFIXES: + .SUFFIXES: .c .o + +The first line clears out the suffix list, the second introduces all +suffixes which may be subject to implicit rules in this Makefile. + + Don't assume that `.' is in the path for command execution. When +you need to run programs that are a part of your package during the +make, please make sure that it uses `./' if the program is built as +part of the make or `$(srcdir)/' if the file is an unchanging part of +the source code. Without one of these prefixes, the current search +path is used. + + The distinction between `./' and `$(srcdir)/' is important when +using the `--srcdir' option to `configure'. A rule of the form: + + foo.1 : foo.man sedscript + sed -e sedscript foo.man > foo.1 + +will fail when the current directory is not the source directory, +because `foo.man' and `sedscript' are not in the current directory. + + When using GNU `make', relying on `VPATH' to find the source file +will work in the case where there is a single dependency file, since +the `make' automatic variable `$<' will represent the source file +wherever it is. (Many versions of `make' set `$<' only in implicit +rules.)

Here are some of the +programs we mean: + + ar bison cc flex install ld lex + make makeinfo ranlib texi2dvi yacc + + Use the following `make' variables: + + $(AR) $(BISON) $(CC) $(FLEX) $(INSTALL) $(LD) $(LEX) + $(MAKE) $(MAKEINFO) $(RANLIB) $(TEXI2DVI) $(YACC) + + When you use `ranlib', you should make sure nothing bad happens if +the system does not have `ranlib'. Arrange to ignore an error from +that command, and print a message before the command to tell the user +that failure of the `ranlib' command does not mean a problem. + + If you use symbolic links, you should implement a fallback for +systems that don't have symbolic links. + + It is ok to use other utilities in Makefile portions (or scripts) +intended only for particular systems where you know those utilities to +exist. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Standard Targets, Next: Command Variables, Prev: Utilities in Makefiles, Up: Makefile Conventions + +Standard Targets for Users +========================== + + All GNU programs should have the following targets in their +Makefiles: + +`all' + Compile the entire program. This should be the default target. + This target need not rebuild any documentation files; Info files + should normally be included in the distribution, and DVI files + should be made only when explicitly asked for. + +`install' + Compile the program and copy the executables, libraries, and so on + to the file names where they should reside for actual use. If + there is a simple test to verify that a program is properly + installed, this target should run that test. + + The commands should create all the directories in which files are + to be installed, if they don't already exist. This includes the + directories specified as the values of the variables `prefix' and + `exec_prefix', as well as all subdirectories that are needed. One + way to do this is by means of an `installdirs' target as described + below. + + Use `-' before any command for installing a man page, so that + `make' will ignore any errors. This is in case there are systems + that don't have the Unix man page documentation system installed. + + The way to install Info files is to copy them into `$(infodir)' + with `$(INSTALL_DATA)' (*note Command Variables::.), and then run + the `install-info' program if it is present. `install-info' is a + script that edits the Info `dir' file to add or update the menu + entry for the given Info file; it will be part of the Texinfo + package. Here is a sample rule to install an Info file: + + $(infodir)/foo.info: foo.info + # There may be a newer info file in . than in srcdir. + -if test -f foo.info; then d=.; \ + else d=$(srcdir); fi; \ + $(INSTALL_DATA) $$d/foo.info $@; \ + # Run install-info only if it exists. + # Use `if' instead of just prepending `-' to the + # line so we notice real errors from install-info. + # We use `$(SHELL) -c' because some shells do not + # fail gracefully when there is an unknown command. + if $(SHELL) -c 'install-info --version' \ + >/dev/null 2>&1; then \ + install-info --infodir=$(infodir) $$d/foo.info; \ + else true; fi + +`uninstall' + Delete all the installed files that the `install' target would + create (but not the noninstalled files such as `make all' would + create). + +`clean' + Delete all files from the current directory that are normally + created by building the program. Don't delete the files that + record the configuration. Also preserve files that could be made + by building, but normally aren't because the distribution comes + with them. + + Delete `.dvi' files here if they are not part of the distribution. + +`distclean' + Delete all files from the current directory that are created by + configuring or building the program. If you have unpacked the + source and built the program without creating any other files, + `make distclean' should leave only the files that were in the + distribution. + +`mostlyclean' + Like `clean', but may refrain from deleting a few files that people + normally don't want to recompile. For example, the `mostlyclean' + target for GCC does not delete `libgcc.a', because recompiling it + is rarely necessary and takes a lot of time. + +`realclean' + Delete everything from the current directory that can be + reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes + everything deleted by `distclean', plus more: C source files + produced by Bison, tags tables, Info files, and so on. + + One exception, however: `make realclean' should not delete + `configure' even if `configure' can be remade using a rule in the + Makefile. More generally, `make realclean' should not delete + anything that needs to exist in order to run `configure' and then + begin to build the program. + +`TAGS' + Update a tags table for this program. + +`info' + Generate any Info files needed. The best way to write the rules + is as follows: + + info: foo.info + + foo.info: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi + $(MAKEINFO) $(srcdir)/foo.texi + + You must define the variable `MAKEINFO' in the Makefile. It should + run the `makeinfo' program, which is part of the Texinfo + distribution. + +`dvi' + Generate DVI files for all TeXinfo documentation. For example: + + dvi: foo.dvi + + foo.dvi: foo.texi chap1.texi chap2.texi + $(TEXI2DVI) $(srcdir)/foo.texi + + You must define the variable `TEXI2DVI' in the Makefile. It should + run the program `texi2dvi', which is part of the Texinfo + distribution. Alternatively, write just the dependencies, and + allow GNU Make to provide the command. + +`dist' + Create a distribution tar file for this program. The tar file + should be set up so that the file names in the tar file start with + a subdirectory name which is the name of the package it is a + distribution for. This name can include the version number. + + For example, the distribution tar file of GCC version 1.40 unpacks + into a subdirectory named `gcc-1.40'. + + The easiest way to do this is to create a subdirectory + appropriately named, use `ln' or `cp' to install the proper files + in it, and then `tar' that subdirectory. + + The `dist' target should explicitly depend on all non-source files + that are in the distribution, to make sure they are up to date in + the distribution. *Note Making Releases: (standards)Releases. + +`check' + Perform self-tests (if any). The user must build the program + before running the tests, but need not install the program; you + should write the self-tests so that they work when the program is + built but not installed. + + The following targets are suggested as conventional names, for +programs in which they are useful. + +`installcheck' + Perform installation tests (if any). The user must build and + install the program before running the tests. You should not + assume that `$(bindir)' is in the search path. + +`installdirs' + It's useful to add a target named `installdirs' to create the + directories where files are installed, and their parent + directories. There is a script called `mkinstalldirs' which is + convenient for this; find it in the Texinfo package.You can use a + rule like this: + + # Make sure all installation directories (e.g. $(bindir)) + # actually exist by making them if necessary. + installdirs: mkinstalldirs + $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(bindir) $(datadir) \ + $(libdir) $(infodir) \ + $(mandir) + + +File: standards.info, Node: Command Variables, Next: Directory Variables, Prev: Standard Targets, Up: Makefile Conventions + +Variables for Specifying Commands +================================= + + Makefiles should provide variables for overriding certain commands, +options, and so on. + + In particular, you should run most utility programs via variables. +Thus, if you use Bison, have a variable named `BISON' whose default +value is set with `BISON = bison', and refer to it with `$(BISON)' +whenever you need to use Bison. + + File management utilities such as `ln', `rm', `mv', and so on, need +not be referred to through variables in this way, since users don't +need to replace them with other programs. + + Each program-name variable should come with an options variable that +is used to supply options to the program. Append `FLAGS' to the +program-name variable name to get the options variable name--for +example, `BISONFLAGS'. (The name `CFLAGS' is an exception to this +rule, but we keep it because it is standard.) Use `CPPFLAGS' in any +compilation command that runs the preprocessor, and use `LDFLAGS' in +any compilation command that does linking as well as in any direct use +of `ld'. + + If there are C compiler options that *must* be used for proper +compilation of certain files, do not include them in `CFLAGS'. Users +expect to be able to specify `CFLAGS' freely themselves. Instead, +arrange to pass the necessary options to the C compiler independently +of `CFLAGS', by writing them explicitly in the compilation commands or +by defining an implicit rule, like this: + + CFLAGS = -g + ALL_CFLAGS = -I. $(CFLAGS) + .c.o: + $(CC) -c $(CPPFLAGS) $(ALL_CFLAGS) $< + + Do include the `-g' option in `CFLAGS', because that is not +*required* for proper compilation. You can consider it a default that +is only recommended. If the package is set up so that it is compiled +with GCC by default, then you might as well include `-O' in the default +value of `CFLAGS' as well. + + Put `CFLAGS' last in the compilation command, after other variables +containing compiler options, so the user can use `CFLAGS' to override +the others. + + Every Makefile should define the variable `INSTALL', which is the +basic command for installing a file into the system. + + Every Makefile should also define the variables `INSTALL_PROGRAM' +and `INSTALL_DATA'. (The default for each of these should be +`$(INSTALL)'.) Then it should use those variables as the commands for +actual installation, for executables and nonexecutables respectively. +Use these variables as follows: + + $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) foo $(bindir)/foo + $(INSTALL_DATA) libfoo.a $(libdir)/libfoo.a + +Always use a file name, not a directory name, as the second argument of +the installation commands. Use a separate command for each file to be +installed. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Directory Variables, Prev: Command Variables, Up: Makefile Conventions + +Variables for Installation Directories +====================================== + + Installation directories should always be named by variables, so it +is easy to install in a nonstandard place. The standard names for these +variables are as follows. + + These two variables set the root for the installation. All the other +installation directories should be subdirectories of one of these two, +and nothing should be directly installed into these two directories. + +`prefix' + A prefix used in constructing the default values of the variables + listed below. The default value of `prefix' should be `/usr/local' + (at least for now). + +`exec_prefix' + A prefix used in constructing the default values of some of the + variables listed below. The default value of `exec_prefix' should + be `$(prefix)'. + + Generally, `$(exec_prefix)' is used for directories that contain + machine-specific files (such as executables and subroutine + libraries), while `$(prefix)' is used directly for other + directories. + + Executable programs are installed in one of the following +directories. + +`bindir' + The directory for installing executable programs that users can + run. This should normally be `/usr/local/bin', but write it as + `$(exec_prefix)/bin'. + +`sbindir' + The directory for installing executable programs that can be run + from the shell, but are only generally useful to system + administrators. This should normally be `/usr/local/sbin', but + write it as `$(exec_prefix)/sbin'. + +`libexecdir' + The directory for installing executable programs to be run by other + programs rather than by users. This directory should normally be + `/usr/local/libexec', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/libexec'. + + Data files used by the program during its execution are divided into +categories in two ways. + + * Some files are normally modified by programs; others are never + normally modified (though users may edit some of these). + + * Some files are architecture-independent and can be shared by all + machines at a site; some are architecture-dependent and can be + shared only by machines of the same kind and operating system; + others may never be shared between two machines. + + This makes for six different possibilities. However, we want to +discourage the use of architecture-dependent files, aside from of object +files and libraries. It is much cleaner to make other data files +architecture-independent, and it is generally not hard. + + Therefore, here are the variables makefiles should use to specify +directories: + +`datadir' + The directory for installing read-only architecture independent + data files. This should normally be `/usr/local/share', but write + it as `$(prefix)/share'. As a special exception, see `$(infodir)' + and `$(includedir)' below. + +`sysconfdir' + The directory for installing read-only data files that pertain to a + single machine-that is to say, files for configuring a host. + Mailer and network configuration files, `/etc/passwd', and so + forth belong here. All the files in this directory should be + ordinary ASCII text files. This directory should normally be + `/usr/local/etc', but write it as `$(prefix)/etc'. + + Do not install executables in this directory (they probably belong + in `$(libexecdir)' or `$(sbindir))'. Also do not install files + that are modified in the normal course of their use (programs + whose purpose is to change the configuration of the system + excluded). Those probably belong in `$(localstatedir)'. + +`sharedstatedir' + The directory for installing architecture-independent data files + which the programs modify while they run. This should normally be + `/usr/local/com', but write it as `$(prefix)/com'. + +`localstatedir' + The directory for installing data files which the programs modify + while they run, and that pertain to one specific machine. Users + should never need to modify files in this directory to configure + the package's operation; put such configuration information in + separate files that go in `datadir' or `$(sysconfdir)'. + `$(localstatedir)' should normally be `/usr/local/var', but write + it as `$(prefix)/var'. + +`libdir' + The directory for object files and libraries of object code. Do + not install executables here, they probably belong in + `$(libexecdir)' instead. The value of `libdir' should normally be + `/usr/local/lib', but write it as `$(exec_prefix)/lib'. + +`infodir' + The directory for installing the Info files for this package. By + default, it should be `/usr/local/info', but it should be written + as `$(prefix)/info'. + +`includedir' + The directory for installing header files to be included by user + programs with the C `#include' preprocessor directive. This + should normally be `/usr/local/include', but write it as + `$(prefix)/include'. + + Most compilers other than GCC do not look for header files in + `/usr/local/include'. So installing the header files this way is + only useful with GCC. Sometimes this is not a problem because some + libraries are only really intended to work with GCC. But some + libraries are intended to work with other compilers. They should + install their header files in two places, one specified by + `includedir' and one specified by `oldincludedir'. + +`oldincludedir' + The directory for installing `#include' header files for use with + compilers other than GCC. This should normally be `/usr/include'. + + The Makefile commands should check whether the value of + `oldincludedir' is empty. If it is, they should not try to use + it; they should cancel the second installation of the header files. + + A package should not replace an existing header in this directory + unless the header came from the same package. Thus, if your Foo + package provides a header file `foo.h', then it should install the + header file in the `oldincludedir' directory if either (1) there + is no `foo.h' there or (2) the `foo.h' that exists came from the + Foo package. + + To tell whether `foo.h' came from the Foo package, put a magic + string in the file--part of a comment--and grep for that string. + + Unix-style man pages are installed in one of the following: + +`mandir' + The directory for installing the man pages (if any) for this + package. It should include the suffix for the proper section of + the manual--usually `1' for a utility. It will normally be + `/usr/local/man/man1', but you should write it as + `$(prefix)/man/man1'. + +`man1dir' + The directory for installing section 1 man pages. + +`man2dir' + The directory for installing section 2 man pages. + +`...' + Use these names instead of `mandir' if the package needs to + install man pages in more than one section of the manual. + + *Don't make the primary documentation for any GNU software be a + man page. Write a manual in Texinfo instead. Man pages are just + for the sake of people running GNU software on Unix, which is a + secondary application only.* + +`manext' + The file name extension for the installed man page. This should + contain a period followed by the appropriate digit; it should + normally be `.1'. + +`man1ext' + The file name extension for installed section 1 man pages. + +`man2ext' + The file name extension for installed section 2 man pages. + +`...' + Use these names instead of `manext' if the package needs to + install man pages in more than one section of the manual. + + And finally, you should set the following variable: + +`srcdir' + The directory for the sources being compiled. The value of this + variable is normally inserted by the `configure' shell script. + + For example: + + # Common prefix for installation directories. + # NOTE: This directory must exist when you start the install. + prefix = /usr/local + exec_prefix = $(prefix) + # Where to put the executable for the command `gcc'. + bindir = $(exec_prefix)/bin + # Where to put the directories used by the compiler. + libexecdir = $(exec_prefix)/libexec + # Where to put the Info files. + infodir = $(prefix)/info + + If your program installs a large number of files into one of the +standard user-specified directories, it might be useful to group them +into a subdirectory particular to that program. If you do this, you +should write the `install' rule to create these subdirectories. + + Do not expect the user to include the subdirectory name in the value +of any of the variables listed above. The idea of having a uniform set +of variable names for installation directories is to enable the user to +specify the exact same values for several different GNU packages. In +order for this to be useful, all the packages must be designed so that +they will work sensibly when the user does so. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Configuration, Next: Source Language, Prev: Makefile Conventions, Up: Top + +How Configuration Should Work +***************************** + + Each GNU distribution should come with a shell script named +`configure'. This script is given arguments which describe the kind of +machine and system you want to compile the program for. + + The `configure' script must record the configuration options so that +they affect compilation. + + One way to do this is to make a link from a standard name such as +`config.h' to the proper configuration file for the chosen system. If +you use this technique, the distribution should *not* contain a file +named `config.h'. This is so that people won't be able to build the +program without configuring it first. + + Another thing that `configure' can do is to edit the Makefile. If +you do this, the distribution should *not* contain a file named +`Makefile'. Instead, include a file `Makefile.in' which contains the +input used for editing. Once again, this is so that people won't be +able to build the program without configuring it first. + + If `configure' does write the `Makefile', then `Makefile' should +have a target named `Makefile' which causes `configure' to be rerun, +setting up the same configuration that was set up last time. The files +that `configure' reads should be listed as dependencies of `Makefile'. + + All the files which are output from the `configure' script should +have comments at the beginning explaining that they were generated +automatically using `configure'. This is so that users won't think of +trying to edit them by hand. + + The `configure' script should write a file named `config.status' +which describes which configuration options were specified when the +program was last configured. This file should be a shell script which, +if run, will recreate the same configuration. + + The `configure' script should accept an option of the form +`--srcdir=DIRNAME' to specify the directory where sources are found (if +it is not the current directory). This makes it possible to build the +program in a separate directory, so that the actual source directory is +not modified. + + If the user does not specify `--srcdir', then `configure' should +check both `.' and `..' to see if it can find the sources. If it finds +the sources in one of these places, it should use them from there. +Otherwise, it should report that it cannot find the sources, and should +exit with nonzero status. + + Usually the easy way to support `--srcdir' is by editing a +definition of `VPATH' into the Makefile. Some rules may need to refer +explicitly to the specified source directory. To make this possible, +`configure' can add to the Makefile a variable named `srcdir' whose +value is precisely the specified directory. + + The `configure' script should also take an argument which specifies +the type of system to build the program for. This argument should look +like this: + + CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM + + For example, a Sun 3 might be `m68k-sun-sunos4.1'. + + The `configure' script needs to be able to decode all plausible +alternatives for how to describe a machine. Thus, `sun3-sunos4.1' +would be a valid alias. So would `sun3-bsd4.2', since SunOS is +basically BSD and no other BSD system is used on a Sun. For many +programs, `vax-dec-ultrix' would be an alias for `vax-dec-bsd', simply +because the differences between Ultrix and BSD are rarely noticeable, +but a few programs might need to distinguish them. + + There is a shell script called `config.sub' that you can use as a +subroutine to validate system types and canonicalize aliases. + + Other options are permitted to specify in more detail the software +or hardware present on the machine, and include or exclude optional +parts of the package: + +`--enable-FEATURE[=PARAMETER]' + Configure the package to build and install an optional user-level + facility called FEATURE. This allows users to choose which + optional features to include. Giving an optional PARAMETER of + `no' should omit FEATURE, if it is built by default. + + No `--enable' option should *ever* cause one feature to replace + another. No `--enable' option should ever substitute one useful + behavior for another useful behavior. The only proper use for + `--enable' is for questions of whether to build part of the program + or exclude it. + +`--with-PACKAGE' + The package PACKAGE will be installed, so configure this package + to work with PACKAGE. + + Possible values of PACKAGE include `x', `x-toolkit', `gnu-as' (or + `gas'), `gnu-ld', `gnu-libc', and `gdb'. + + Do not use a `--with' option to specify the file name to use to + find certain files. That is outside the scope of what `--with' + options are for. + +`--nfp' + The target machine has no floating point processor. + +`--gas' + The target machine assembler is GAS, the GNU assembler. This is + obsolete; users should use `--with-gnu-as' instead. + +`--x' + The target machine has the X Window System installed. This is + obsolete; users should use `--with-x' instead. + + All `configure' scripts should accept all of these "detail" options, +whether or not they make any difference to the particular package at +hand. In particular, they should accept any option that starts with +`--with-' or `--enable-'. This is so users will be able to configure +an entire GNU source tree at once with a single set of options. + + You will note that the categories `--with-' and `--enable-' are +narrow: they *do not* provide a place for any sort of option you might +think of. That is deliberate. We want to limit the possible +configuration options in GNU software. We do not want GNU programs to +have idiosyncratic configuration options. + + Packages that perform part of compilation may support +cross-compilation. In such a case, the host and target machines for +the program may be different. The `configure' script should normally +treat the specified type of system as both the host and the target, +thus producing a program which works for the same type of machine that +it runs on. + + The way to build a cross-compiler, cross-assembler, or what have +you, is to specify the option `--host=HOSTTYPE' when running +`configure'. This specifies the host system without changing the type +of target system. The syntax for HOSTTYPE is the same as described +above. + + Bootstrapping a cross-compiler requires compiling it on a machine +other than the host it will run on. Compilation packages accept a +configuration option `--build=HOSTTYPE' for specifying the +configuration on which you will compile them, in case that is different +from the host. + + Programs for which cross-operation is not meaningful need not accept +the `--host' option, because configuring an entire operating system for +cross-operation is not a meaningful thing. + + Some programs have ways of configuring themselves automatically. If +your program is set up to do this, your `configure' script can simply +ignore most of its arguments. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Source Language, Next: Formatting, Prev: Configuration, Up: Top + +Using Languages Other Than C +**************************** + + Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard feature: +it will cause trouble for users.

Several tools look +for open-braces in column zero to find the beginnings of C functions. +These tools will not work on code not formatted that way. + + It is also important for function definitions to start the name of +the function in column zero. This helps people to search for function +definitions, and may also help certain tools recognize them. Thus, the +proper format is this: + + static char * + concat (s1, s2) /* Name starts in column zero here */ + char *s1, *s2; + { /* Open brace in column zero here */ + ... + } + +or, if you want to use ANSI C, format the definition like this: + + static char * + concat (char *s1, char *s2) + { + ... + } + + In ANSI C, if the arguments don't fit nicely on one line, split it +like this: + + int + lots_of_args (int an_integer, long a_long, short a_short, + double a_double, float a_float) + ... + + For the body of the function, we prefer code formatted like this: + + if (x < foo (y, z)) + haha = bar[4] + 5; + else + { + while (z) + { + haha += foo (z, z); + z--; + } + return ++x + bar (); + } + + We find it easier to read a program when it has spaces before the +open-parentheses and after the commas.

Whether to use these +extensions in implementing your program is a difficult question. + + On the one hand, using the extensions can make a cleaner program. +On the other hand, people will not be able to build the program unless +the other GNU tools are available. This might cause the program to +work on fewer kinds of machines. + + With some extensions, it might be easy to provide both alternatives. +For example, you can define functions with a "keyword" `INLINE' and +define that as a macro to expand into either `inline' or nothing, +depending on the compiler. + + In general, perhaps it is best not to use the extensions if you can +straightforwardly do without them, but to use the extensions if they +are a big improvement. + + An exception to this rule are the large, established programs (such +as Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Such programs would +be broken by use of GNU extensions. + + Another exception is for programs that are used as part of +compilation: anything that must be compiled with other compilers in +order to bootstrap the GNU compilation facilities. If these require +the GNU compiler, then no one can compile them without having them +installed already. That would be no good. + + Since most computer systems do not yet implement ANSI C, using the +ANSI C features is effectively using a GNU extension, so the same +considerations apply. (Except for ANSI features that we discourage, +such as trigraphs--don't ever use them.) + + +File: standards.info, Node: System Functions, Next: Semantics, Prev: Using Extensions, Up: Top + +Calling System Functions +************************ + + C implementations differ substantially. ANSI C reduces but does not +eliminate the incompatibilities; meanwhile, many users wish to compile +GNU software with pre-ANSI compilers. This chapter gives +recommendations for how to use the more or less standard C library +functions to avoid unnecessary loss of portability. + + * Don't use the value of `sprintf'. It returns the number of + characters written on some systems, but not on all systems. + + * Don't declare system functions explicitly. + + Almost any declaration for a system function is wrong on some + system. To minimize conflicts, leave it to the system header + files to declare system functions. If the headers don't declare a + function, let it remain undeclared. + + While it may seem unclean to use a function without declaring it, + in practice this works fine for most system library functions on + the systems where this really happens. The problem is only + theoretical. By contrast, actual declarations have frequently + caused actual conflicts. + + * If you must declare a system function, don't specify the argument + types. Use an old-style declaration, not an ANSI prototype. The + more you specify about the function, the more likely a conflict. + + * In particular, don't unconditionally declare `malloc' or `realloc'. + + Most GNU programs use those functions just once, in functions + conventionally named `xmalloc' and `xrealloc'. These functions + call `malloc' and `realloc', respectively, and check the results. + + Because `xmalloc' and `xrealloc' are defined in your program, you + can declare them in other files without any risk of type conflict. + + On most systems, `int' is the same length as a pointer; thus, the + calls to `malloc' and `realloc' work fine. For the few + exceptional systems (mostly 64-bit machines), you can use + *conditionalized* declarations of `malloc' and `realloc'--or put + these declarations in configuration files specific to those + systems. + + * The string functions require special treatment. Some Unix systems + have a header file `string.h'; other have `strings.h'. Neither + file name is portable. There are two things you can do: use + Autoconf to figure out which file to include, or don't include + either file. + + * If you don't include either strings file, you can't get + declarations for the string functions from the header file in the + usual way. + + That causes less of a problem than you might think. The newer ANSI + string functions are off-limits anyway because many systems still + don't support them. The string functions you can use are these: + + strcpy strncpy strcat strncat + strlen strcmp strncmp + strchr strrchr + + The copy and concatenate functions work fine without a declaration + as long as you don't use their values. Using their values without + a declaration fails on systems where the width of a pointer + differs from the width of `int', and perhaps in other cases. It + is trivial to avoid using their values, so do that. + + The compare functions and `strlen' work fine without a declaration + on most systems, possibly all the ones that GNU software runs on. + You may find it necessary to declare them *conditionally* on a few + systems. + + The search functions must be declared to return `char *'. Luckily, + there is no variation in the data type they return. But there is + variation in their names. Some systems give these functions the + names `index' and `rindex'; other systems use the names `strchr' + and `strrchr'. Some systems support both pairs of names, but + neither pair works on all systems. + + You should pick a single pair of names and use it throughout your + program. (Nowadays, it is better to choose `strchr' and + `strrchr'.) Declare both of those names as functions returning + `char *'. On systems which don't support those names, define them + as macros in terms of the other pair. For example, here is what + to put at the beginning of your file (or in a header) if you want + to use the names `strchr' and `strrchr' throughout: + + #ifndef HAVE_STRCHR + #define strchr index + #endif + #ifndef HAVE_STRRCHR + #define strrchr rindex + #endif + + char *strchr (); + char *strrchr (); + + Here we assume that `HAVE_STRCHR' and `HAVE_STRRCHR' are macros +defined in systems where the corresponding functions exist. One way to +get them properly defined is to use Autoconf. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Semantics, Next: Errors, Prev: System Functions, Up: Top + +Program Behavior for All Programs +********************************* + + Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of *any* data +structure, including filenames, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating +all data structures dynamically. In most Unix utilities, "long lines +are silently truncated". This is not acceptable in a GNU utility. + + Utilities reading files should not drop NUL characters, or any other +nonprinting characters *including those with codes above 0177*. The +only sensible exceptions would be utilities specifically intended for +interface to certain types of printers that can't handle those +characters. + + Check every system call for an error return, unless you know you +wish to ignore errors. Include the system error text (from `perror' or +equivalent) in *every* error message resulting from a failing system +call, as well as the name of the file if any and the name of the +utility. Just "cannot open foo.c" or "stat failed" is not sufficient. + + Check every call to `malloc' or `realloc' to see if it returned +zero. Check `realloc' even if you are making the block smaller; in a +system that rounds block sizes to a power of 2, `realloc' may get a +different block if you ask for less space. + + In Unix, `realloc' can destroy the storage block if it returns zero. +GNU `realloc' does not have this bug: if it fails, the original block +is unchanged. Feel free to assume the bug is fixed. If you wish to +run your program on Unix, and wish to avoid lossage in this case, you +can use the GNU `malloc'. + + You must expect `free' to alter the contents of the block that was +freed. Anything you want to fetch from the block, you must fetch before +calling `free'. + + If `malloc' fails in a noninteractive program, make that a fatal +error. In an interactive program (one that reads commands from the +user), it is better to abort the command and return to the command +reader loop. This allows the user to kill other processes to free up +virtual memory, and then try the command again. + + Use `getopt_long' to decode arguments, unless the argument syntax +makes this unreasonable. + + When static storage is to be written in during program execution, use +explicit C code to initialize it. Reserve C initialized declarations +for data that will not be changed. + + Try to avoid low-level interfaces to obscure Unix data structures +(such as file directories, utmp, or the layout of kernel memory), since +these are less likely to work compatibly. If you need to find all the +files in a directory, use `readdir' or some other high-level interface. +These will be supported compatibly by GNU. + + By default, the GNU system will provide the signal handling +functions of BSD and of POSIX. So GNU software should be written to use +these. + + In error checks that detect "impossible" conditions, just abort. +There is usually no point in printing any message. These checks +indicate the existence of bugs. Whoever wants to fix the bugs will have +to read the source code and run a debugger. So explain the problem with +comments in the source. The relevant data will be in variables, which +are easy to examine with the debugger, so there is no point moving them +elsewhere. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Errors, Next: Libraries, Prev: Semantics, Up: Top + +Formatting Error Messages +************************* + + Error messages from compilers should look like this: + + SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE + + Error messages from other noninteractive programs should look like +this: + + PROGRAM:SOURCE-FILE-NAME:LINENO: MESSAGE + +when there is an appropriate source file, or like this: + + PROGRAM: MESSAGE + +when there is no relevant source file. + + In an interactive program (one that is reading commands from a +terminal), it is better not to include the program name in an error +message. The place to indicate which program is running is in the +prompt or with the screen layout. (When the same program runs with +input from a source other than a terminal, it is not interactive and +would do best to print error messages using the noninteractive style.) + + The string MESSAGE should not begin with a capital letter when it +follows a program name and/or filename. Also, it should not end with a +period. + + Error messages from interactive programs, and other messages such as +usage messages, should start with a capital letter. But they should not +end with a period. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Libraries, Next: Portability, Prev: Errors, Up: Top + +Library Behavior +**************** + + Try to make library functions reentrant. If they need to do dynamic +storage allocation, at least try to avoid any nonreentrancy aside from +that of `malloc' itself. + + Here are certain name conventions for libraries, to avoid name +conflicts. + + Choose a name prefix for the library, more than two characters long. +All external function and variable names should start with this prefix. +In addition, there should only be one of these in any given library +member. This usually means putting each one in a separate source file. + + An exception can be made when two external symbols are always used +together, so that no reasonable program could use one without the +other; then they can both go in the same file. + + External symbols that are not documented entry points for the user +should have names beginning with `_'. They should also contain the +chosen name prefix for the library, to prevent collisions with other +libraries. These can go in the same files with user entry points if +you like. + + Static functions and variables can be used as you like and need not +fit any naming convention. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Portability, Next: User Interfaces, Prev: Libraries, Up: Top + +Portability As It Applies to GNU +******************************** + + Much of what is called "portability" in the Unix world refers to +porting to different Unix versions. This is a secondary consideration +for GNU software, because its primary purpose is to run on top of one +and only one kernel, the GNU kernel, compiled with one and only one C +compiler, the GNU C compiler. The amount and kinds of variation among +GNU systems on different cpu's will be like the variation among Berkeley +4.3 systems on different cpu's. + + All users today run GNU software on non-GNU systems. So supporting a +variety of non-GNU systems is desirable; simply not paramount. The +easiest way to achieve portability to a reasonable range of systems is +to use Autoconf. It's unlikely that your program needs to know more +information about the host machine than Autoconf can provide, simply +because most of the programs that need such knowledge have already been +written. + + It is difficult to be sure exactly what facilities the GNU kernel +will provide, since it isn't finished yet. Therefore, assume you can +use anything in 4.3; just avoid using the format of semi-internal data +bases (e.g., directories) when there is a higher-level alternative +(`readdir'). + + You can freely assume any reasonably standard facilities in the C +language, libraries or kernel, because we will find it necessary to +support these facilities in the full GNU system, whether or not we have +already done so. The fact that there may exist kernels or C compilers +that lack these facilities is irrelevant as long as the GNU kernel and +C compiler support them. + + It remains necessary to worry about differences among cpu types, such +as the difference in byte ordering and alignment restrictions. It's +unlikely that 16-bit machines will ever be supported by GNU, so there +is no point in spending any time to consider the possibility that an +int will be less than 32 bits. + + You can assume that all pointers have the same format, regardless of +the type they point to, and that this is really an integer. There are +some weird machines where this isn't true, but they aren't important; +don't waste time catering to them. Besides, eventually we will put +function prototypes into all GNU programs, and that will probably make +your program work even on weird machines. + + Since some important machines (including the 68000) are big-endian, +it is important not to assume that the address of an `int' object is +also the address of its least-significant byte. Thus, don't make the +following mistake: + + int c; + ... + while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) + write(file_descriptor, &c, 1); + + You can assume that it is reasonable to use a meg of memory. Don't +strain to reduce memory usage unless it can get to that level. If your +program creates complicated data structures, just make them in core and +give a fatal error if malloc returns zero. + + If a program works by lines and could be applied to arbitrary +user-supplied input files, it should keep only a line in memory, because +this is not very hard and users will want to be able to operate on input +files that are bigger than will fit in core all at once. + + +File: standards.info, Node: User Interfaces, Next: Documentation, Prev: Portability, Up: Top + +Standards for Command Line Interfaces +************************************* + + Please don't make the behavior of a utility depend on the name used +to invoke it. It is useful sometimes to make a link to a utility with +a different name, and that should not change what it does. + + Instead, use a run time option or a compilation switch or both to +select among the alternate behaviors. + + Likewise, please don't make the behavior of the program depend on the +type of output device it is used with. Device independence is an +important principle of the system's design; do not compromise it merely +to save someone from typing an option now and then. + + If you think one behavior is most useful when the output is to a +terminal, and another is most useful when the output is a file or a +pipe, then it is usually best to make the default behavior the one that +is useful with output to a terminal, and have an option for the other +behavior. + + Compatibility requires certain programs to depend on the type of +output device. It would be disastrous if `ls' or `sh' did not do so in +the way all users expect. In some of these cases, we supplement the +program with a preferred alternate version that does not depend on the +output device type. For example, we provide a `dir' program much like +`ls' except that its default output format is always multi-column +format. + + It is a good idea to follow the POSIX guidelines for the +command-line options of a program. The easiest way to do this is to use +`getopt' to parse them. Note that the GNU version of `getopt' will +normally permit options anywhere among the arguments unless the special +argument `--' is used. This is not what POSIX specifies; it is a GNU +extension. + + Please define long-named options that are equivalent to the +single-letter Unix-style options. We hope to make GNU more user +friendly this way. This is easy to do with the GNU function +`getopt_long'. + + One of the advantages of long-named options is that they can be +consistent from program to program. For example, users should be able +to expect the "verbose" option of any GNU program which has one, to be +spelled precisely `--verbose'. To achieve this uniformity, look at the +table of common long-option names when you choose the option names for +your program. The table appears below. + + If you use names not already in the table, please send +`gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu' a list of them, with their meanings, so we can +update the table. + + It is usually a good idea for file names given as ordinary arguments +to be input files only; any output files would be specified using +options (preferably `-o'). Even if you allow an output file name as an +ordinary argument for compatibility, try to provide a suitable option +as well. This will lead to more consistency among GNU utilities, so +that there are fewer idiosyncracies for users to remember. + + Programs should support an option `--version' which prints the +program's version number on standard output and exits successfully, and +an option `--help' which prints option usage information on standard +output and exits successfully.

See the Texinfo +manual, either the hardcopy or the version in the GNU Emacs Info +subsystem (`C-h i'). See existing GNU Texinfo files (e.g., those under +the `man/' directory in the GNU Emacs distribution) for examples. + + The title page of the manual should state the version of the program +which the manual applies to. The Top node of the manual should also +contain this information. If the manual is changing more frequently +than or independent of the program, also state a version number for the +manual in both of these places. + + The manual should document all command-line arguments and all +commands. It should give examples of their use. But don't organize +the manual as a list of features. Instead, organize it by the concepts +a user will have before reaching that point in the manual. Address the +goals that a user will have in mind, and explain how to accomplish +them. Don't use Unix man pages as a model for how to write GNU +documentation; they are a bad example to follow. + + The manual should have a node named `PROGRAM Invocation' or +`Invoking PROGRAM', where PROGRAM stands for the name of the program +being described, as you would type it in the shell to run the program. +This node (together with its subnodes, if any) should describe the +program's command line arguments and how to run it (the sort of +information people would look in a man page for). Start with an +`@example' containing a template for all the options and arguments that +the program uses. + + Alternatively, put a menu item in some menu whose item name fits one +of the above patterns. This identifies the node which that item points +to as the node for this purpose, regardless of the node's actual name. + + There will be automatic features for specifying a program name and +quickly reading just this part of its manual. + + If one manual describes several programs, it should have such a node +for each program described. + + In addition to its manual, the package should have a file named +`NEWS' which contains a list of user-visible changes worth mentioning. +In each new release, add items to the front of the file and identify +the version they pertain to. Don't discard old items; leave them in +the file after the newer items. This way, a user upgrading from any +previous version can see what is new. + + If the `NEWS' file gets very long, move some of the older items into +a file named `ONEWS' and put a note at the end referring the user to +that file. + + Please do not use the term "pathname" that is used in Unix +documentation; use "file name" (two words) instead. We use the term +"path" only for search paths, which are lists of file names. + + It is ok to supply a man page for the program as well as a Texinfo +manual if you wish to. But keep in mind that supporting a man page +requires continual effort, each time the program is changed. Any time +you spend on the man page is time taken away from more useful things you +could contribute. + + Thus, even if a user volunteers to donate a man page, you may find +this gift costly to accept. Unless you have time on your hands, it may +be better to refuse the man page unless the same volunteer agrees to +take full responsibility for maintaining it--so that you can wash your +hands of it entirely. If the volunteer ceases to do the job, then +don't feel obliged to pick it up yourself; it may be better to withdraw +the man page until another volunteer offers to carry on with it. + + Alternatively, if you expect the discrepancies to be small enough +that the man page remains useful, put a prominent note near the +beginning of the man page explaining that you don't maintain it and +that the Texinfo manual is more authoritative, and describing how to +access the Texinfo documentation. + + +File: standards.info, Node: Releases, Prev: Documentation, Up: Top + +Making Releases +*************** + + Package the distribution of Foo version 69.96 in a gzipped tar file +named `foo-69.96.tar.gz'. It should unpack into a subdirectory named +`foo-69.96'. + + Building and installing the program should never modify any of the +files contained in the distribution. This means that all the files +that form part of the program in any way must be classified into "source +files" and "non-source files". Source files are written by humans and +never changed automatically; non-source files are produced from source +files by programs under the control of the Makefile. + + Naturally, all the source files must be in the distribution. It is +okay to include non-source files in the distribution, provided they are +up-to-date and machine-independent, so that building the distribution +normally will never modify them. We commonly include non-source files +produced by Bison, Lex, TeX, and Makeinfo; this helps avoid unnecessary +dependencies between our distributions, so that users can install +whichever packages they want to install. + + Non-source files that might actually be modified by building and +installing the program should *never* be included in the distribution. +So if you do distribute non-source files, always make sure they are up +to date when you make a new distribution. + + Make sure that the directory into which the distribution unpacks (as +well as any subdirectories) are all world-writable (octal mode 777). +This is so that old versions of `tar' which preserve the ownership and +permissions of the files from the tar archive will be able to extract +all the files even if the user is unprivileged. + + Make sure that all the files in the distribution are world-readable. + + Make sure that no file name in the distribution is more than 14 +characters long. Likewise, no file created by building the program +should have a name longer than 14 characters. The reason for this is +that some systems adhere to a foolish interpretation of the POSIX +standard, and refuse to open a longer name, rather than truncating as +they did in the past. + + Don't include any symbolic links in the distribution itself. If the +tar file contains symbolic links, then people cannot even unpack it on +systems that don't support symbolic links. Also, don't use multiple +names for one file in different directories, because certain file +systems cannot handle this and that prevents unpacking the distribution. + + Try to make sure that all the file names will be unique on MS-DOG. A +name on MS-DOG consists of up to 8 characters, optionally followed by a +period and up to three characters. MS-DOG will truncate extra +characters both before and after the period. Thus, `foobarhacker.c' +and `foobarhacker.o' are not ambiguous; they are truncated to +`foobarha.c' and `foobarha.o', which are distinct. + + Include in your distribution a copy of the `texinfo.tex' you used to +test print any `*.texinfo' files. + + Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like +regex, getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution +file. Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little +smaller at the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't +know what other files to get. + + |
