## Pull Requests

don't, however, allow me to make a suggestion: feature branches pulled from
upstream. Try this:
1. Fork sway
2. Clone your fork
3. git remote add upstream https://github.com/SirCmpwn/wlroots
1. Fork wlroot s
2. `git clone https://github.com/username/wlroots && cd wlroots`

You only need to do this once. You're never going to use your fork's master

1. git fetch upstream
2. git checkout -b add-so-and-so-feature upstream/master
3. work

Please strive to write good commit messages. Here's some guidelines to follow:
The first line should be limited to 50 characters and should be a sentence that
completes the thought [When applied, this commit will...] "Implement cmd_move"
or "Fix #742 " or "Improve performance of arrange_windows on ARM" or similar.

or explain some of the subtler details of your patch. This is important because
when someone finds a line of code they don't understand later, they can use the
`git blame` command to find out what the author was thinking when they wrote
it. It's also easier to review your pull requests if they're sepe rated into

## Coding Style
wlroots is written in C with the same style as Sway. The style guidelines is
[kernel
wlroots is written in C with a style similar to the [kernel
style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but
all braces go on the same line (*"but K& R says so!" is a silly way of justifying
something*). Some points to note:
* Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason
* Do not use macros unless you have a *really* good reason
* Align `case` with `switch`
* Tabs, not spaces
* `char *pointer` - note position of `*`
* Use logging with reckless abandon
* Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners
An example of well formatted code:
```C
#include < stdio.h >
#include < stdlib.h >
#include "log.h"
#include "example.h"
struct foobar {
char *foo;
int bar;
long baz;
}; // Do not typedef without a good reason
int main(int argc, const char **argv) {
if (argc != 4) {
sway_abort("Do not run this program manually. See man 5 sway and look for output options.");
}
with a few notable differences.
if (!registry->desktop_shell) {
sway_abort("swaybg requires the compositor to support the desktop-shell extension.");
}
Try to keep your code conforming to C11 and POSIX as much as possible, and do
not use GNU extensions.
int desired_output = atoi(argv[1]);
sway_log(L_INFO, "Using output %d of %d", desired_output, registry->outputs->length);
int i;
struct output_state *output = registry->outputs->items[desired_output];
struct window *window = window_setup(registry, 100, 100, false);
if (!window) {
sway_abort("Failed to create surfaces.");
}
window->width = output->width;
window->height = output->height;
desktop_shell_set_background(registry->desktop_shell, output->output, window->surface);
list_add(surfaces, window);
cairo_surface_t *image = cairo_image_surface_create_from_png(argv[2]);
double width = cairo_image_surface_get_width(image);
double height = cairo_image_surface_get_height(image);
const char *scaling_mode_str = argv[3];
enum scaling_mode scaling_mode;
if (strcmp(scaling_mode_str, "stretch") == 0) {
scaling_mode = SCALING_MODE_STRETCH;
} else if (strcmp(scaling_mode_str, "fill") == 0) {
scaling_mode = SCALING_MODE_FILL;
} else if (strcmp(scaling_mode_str, "fit") == 0) {
scaling_mode = SCALING_MODE_FIT;
} else if (strcmp(scaling_mode_str, "center") == 0) {
scaling_mode = SCALING_MODE_CENTER;
} else if (strcmp(scaling_mode_str, "tile") == 0) {
scaling_mode = SCALING_MODE_TILE;
} else {
sway_abort("Unsupported scaling mode: %s", scaling_mode_str);
}
### Brackets
for (i = 0; i < surfaces- > length; ++i) {
struct window *window = surfaces->items[i];
if (window_prerender(window) & & window->cairo) {
switch (scaling_mode) {
case SCALING_MODE_STRETCH:
cairo_scale(window->cairo,
(double) window->width / width,
(double) window->height / height);
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image, 0, 0);
break;
case SCALING_MODE_FILL:
{
double window_ratio = (double) window->width / window->height;
double bg_ratio = width / height;
if (window_ratio > bg_ratio) {
double scale = (double) window->width / width;
cairo_scale(window->cairo, scale, scale);
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image,
0,
(double) window->height/2 / scale - height/2);
} else {
double scale = (double) window->height / height;
cairo_scale(window->cairo, scale, scale);
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image,
(double) window->width/2 / scale - width/2,
0);
}
break;
Brackets always go on the same line, including in functions.
Always include brackets for if/while/for, even if it's a single statement.
```c
void function() {
if (condition1) {
do_thing1();
}
case SCALING_MODE_FIT:
{
double window_ratio = (double) window->width / window->height;
double bg_ratio = width / height;
if (window_ratio > bg_ratio) {
double scale = (double) window->height / height;
cairo_scale(window->cairo, scale, scale);
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image,
(double) window->width/2 / scale - width/2,
0);
if (condition2) {
do_thing2();
} else {
double scale = (double) window->width / width;
cairo_scale(window->cairo, scale, scale);
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image,
0,
(double) window->height/2 / scale - height/2);
}
break;
do_thing3();
}
case SCALING_MODE_CENTER:
cairo_set_source_surface(window->cairo, image,
(double) window->width/2 - width/2,
(double) window->height/2 - height/2);
break;
case SCALING_MODE_TILE:
{
cairo_pattern_t *pattern = cairo_pattern_create_for_surface(image);
cairo_pattern_set_extend(pattern, CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT);
cairo_set_source(window->cairo, pattern);
break;
}
default:
sway_abort("Scaling mode '%s' not implemented yet!", scaling_mode_str);
}
```
cairo_paint(window->cairo);
### Indentation
window_render(window);
}
}
Indentations are a single tab.
while (wl_display_dispatch(registry->display) != -1);
For long lines that need to be broken, the continuation line should be indented
with an additional tab.
If the line being broken is opening a new block (functions, if, while, etc.),
the continuation line should be indented with two tabs, so they can't be
misread as being part of the block.
```c
really_long_function(argument1, argument2, ...,
argument3, argument4);
for (i = 0; i < surfaces- > length; ++i) {
struct window *window = surfaces->items[i];
window_teardown(window);
}
list_free(surfaces);
registry_teardown(registry);
return 0;
if (condition1 & & condition2 & & ...
condition3 & & condition4) {
do_thing();
}
```
Try to break the line in the place which you think is the most appropriate.
### Line Length
Try to keep your lines under 80 columns, but you can go up to 100 if it
improves readability.
### Names
Function and type names should be prefixed with `wlr_submodule_` (e.g. `struct
wlr_drm_plane`, `wlr_output_set_cursor` ). For static functions and types local
to a file, the names chosen aren't as important.
### 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 an
otherwise uninitialised 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
Try to 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.
## Meson Coding Style
The Meson style is similar to the C style, but indentations are 2 spaces.
