Style guides for Google-originated open-source projects

Overview

Google Style Guides

Every major open-source project has its own style guide: a set of conventions (sometimes arbitrary) about how to write code for that project. It is much easier to understand a large codebase when all the code in it is in a consistent style.

“Style” covers a lot of ground, from “use camelCase for variable names” to “never use global variables” to “never use exceptions.” This project (google/styleguide) links to the style guidelines we use for Google code. If you are modifying a project that originated at Google, you may be pointed to this page to see the style guides that apply to that project.

This project holds the C++ Style Guide, C# Style Guide, Swift Style Guide, Objective-C Style Guide, Java Style Guide, Python Style Guide, R Style Guide, Shell Style Guide, HTML/CSS Style Guide, JavaScript Style Guide, TypeScript Style Guide, AngularJS Style Guide, Common Lisp Style Guide, and Vimscript Style Guide. This project also contains cpplint, a tool to assist with style guide compliance, and google-c-style.el, an Emacs settings file for Google style.

If your project requires that you create a new XML document format, the XML Document Format Style Guide may be helpful. In addition to actual style rules, it also contains advice on designing your own vs. adapting an existing format, on XML instance document formatting, and on elements vs. attributes.

The following Google style guides live outside of this project: Go Code Review Comments and Effective Dart.

Comments
  • Fix the `cpplint.py` `build/endif_comment` check.

    Fix the `cpplint.py` `build/endif_comment` check.

    • The check needs to be run before we remove comments, otherwise valid lines will be found as invalid.
    • A single character different from / after the spaces is enough to indicate an error.
    • Also catch errors when only one / is present. (For example #endif / MY_FILE_H.)

    Tested with:

    // Correct
    
    #endif// FOO_1
    #endif // FOO_2
    #endif  // FOO_3
    #endif  //
    #endif  // blargh
    #endif  // one tab
    #endif      // two tabs
    
    // Incorrect
    // Note that there are spaces and tabs below.
    #endif
    #endif 
    #endif          
    #endif  
    #endif                          
    #endif x
    #endif xxx
    #endif / xxx

  • Shell - Command Chaining in place of if statement.

    Shell - Command Chaining in place of if statement.

    The shell style guide is relatively silent on the topic of using command chaining in place of an if statement. I would propose the following guidance be considered.

    In simple test and execute situations like the following:

    if [[ -z "${VARIABLE} ]]; then
      exit 1
    fi
    

    Simplify the code into a more compact form for readability.

    [[ -z "${VARIABLE}" ]] && exit 1

    It turns out Github pages will automatically render markdown to html. So we just need to delete the old pyguide.html and that's it!

  • Fixed

    Fixed "full hairy example" of formatting control string in Common Lisp style guide

    Example produced wrong results:

    CL-USER> (format nil "Items:~#[ none~; ~S~; ~S and ~S~:;~@{~#[~; and~] ~S~^ ,~}~]." :foo :bar :baz :kadabr)
    "Items: :FOO , :BAR , :BAZ , and :KADABR."
    

    With this fix, it uses commas correctly:

    CL-USER> (format nil "Items: ~#[ none~; ~S~; ~S and ~S~:;~@{~S~^~#[~; and ~:;, ~]~}~]." :foo :bar :baz :kadabr)
    "Items: :FOO, :BAR, :BAZ and :KADABR."

  • C++ Style Guide: 64-bit Portability conflicts with Integer Types section

    C++ Style Guide: 64-bit Portability conflicts with Integer Types section

    Under 64-bit Portability, the guide advises:

    Use the LL or ULL suffixes as needed to create 64-bit constants.

    Yet, the Integer Types section states:

    stdint.h defines types like int16_t, uint32_t, int64_t, etc. You should always use those in preference to short, unsigned long long and the like, when you need a guarantee on the size of an integer.

    Therefore, it seems that the 64-bit Portability section should instead advise developers to use the INTn_C() and UINTn_C() macros, defined in stdint.h (or cstdint). See:

    http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/integer
    http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/header/cstdint
    

    BTW, if any rationale was given to prefer stdint.h over cstdint, I seem to have missed it.

    So surprise! https://github.com/google/styleguide/commit/1707ccb7d18e4980870ce0ea6ab3d380f9a36a30

    https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html

    Revision 2.59 This is an obsolete unmaintained copy of the style guide. Please use pyguide.md instead.

    I know of tons of people/companies that were leveraging this as the law of Python. (or at least a 3rd party reference/supplicant to the PEP)

    As per https://github.com/google/styleguide/commit/1707ccb7d18e4980870ce0ea6ab3d380f9a36a30#commitcomment-29815046

    Is it possible to:

    1. completely delete the content (retain the stub landing page for manual user redirect)
    • -- no point in keeping it around if it's been dead for 5 years
    1. someone from Google please do an assessment of "what's changed" over the past 5 years
    • -- compare HTML to MD -- and provide a "1-year-shelf-life" matrix that tries to succinctly describe the major differences so that people can easily consume the new style guide

    Would be awesome! Thank you.

  • intellij-java-google-style.xml puts static imports last

    intellij-java-google-style.xml puts static imports last

    According to 
    
    http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javaguide.html#s3.3.3-import-o
    rdering-and-spacing
    
    "Import statements are divided into the following groups, in this order, with 
    each group separated by a single blank line:
    1. All static imports in a single group ..."
    
    static imports should come first. But in intellij-java-google-style.xml they 
    are listed as last:
    
    https://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/source/browse/trunk/intellij-java-go
    ogle-style.xml#251
    
    Steps to reproduce
    1. Open the attached Test.java in IntelliJ
    2. In IntelliJ IDEA, do Reformat Code (CTRL+ALT+L on Windows)
    3. Check "Organize Import" and "Rearrange Entries"
    4. Click OK
    
    What is the expected output? 
    
    package test;
    
    import static java.lang.System.out;
    
    import java.text.NumberFormat;
    
    public class Test {

    What do you see instead?
    
    package test;
    
    import java.text.NumberFormat;
    
    import static java.lang.System.out;
    
    public class Test {
    
        public void test() {
          out.println(NumberFormat.getInstance().format(Math.PI));
        }
    }
    
    What version of the product are you using? 
    
    * r134 of intellij-java-google-style.xml
    * IntelliJ IDEA 13.03
    * JRE 1.7.0_40-b43 x86
    
    On what operating system?
    * Windows 7 Enterprise (V 6.1 SP1)
    
    Please provide any additional information below.
    
    I attached the corrected intellij-java-google-style.xml to places the static 
    imports first as per the code style.

  • Please consider maintaining the Emacs-Lisp files in a separate repository

    Please consider maintaining the Emacs-Lisp files in a separate repository

    I have read the instructions in the input field used to create this issue and I do realize that this request does in some ways violate that.

    But please consider this proposal anyway. So this style guide is intended for internal use at Google. That probably means it should not be distributed on Melpa.

    We are happy to continue to distribute it on Melpa as that is probably how most of the emacs-using googlers install it, but we have requirements too, which have to be met by packages that we distribute, and one of them is that the elisp libraries are not distributed in such large repositories that contain much more than the elisp files.

    What follows is the text used to open many such requests:


    This repository contains one or more Emacs-Lisp libraries, which are distributed on Melpa for easy installation using Emacs' official package manager (package.el) and are also mirrored on the Emacsmirror.

    This project/repository is about much more than just the elisp libraries. These libraries are tucked away in some "contrib" or "utilities" directory. The maintainers of the project as a whole likely care little about these libraries, which makes it a less than optimal place to maintain them. The maintainers will always have something more important to deal with and potential contributors are likely scared away by the additional processes and conventions that such a large project needs, but which are overkill when looking at the elisp libraries in isolation.

    I would like to propose that the Emacs-Lips libraries are maintained in a separate repository. Doing that would solve a few issues and have additional benefits:

    • Distributing a package that originates in such a large repository puts additional strain on the Melpa server. Fetching the repository takes longer and they require more space. We are already trying to deal with the latter, but not very successfully and this leads to special-cases in the tooling, which come with additional maintenance costs. See https://github.com/melpa/melpa/issues/5361, also for some past discussion.

    • I also maintain the Emacsmirror and here the costs are much higher than for Melpa. The Emacsmirror does not just distribute installable snapshots of a package, as Melpa does.

      Instead it mirrors the upstream repository. But in cases like this, where the repository contains much more than just the elisp libraries, it filters the history, using tools such as git filter-repo and git subtree. Unfortunately these tools are not very reliable and highly inefficient when continuously rewriting large repositories like this one.

      Currently this affects just 33 out of 8485 on the Emacsmirror, and the disproportionate amount of work that it takes to maintain the tooling for these special-cases is just not worth it. So I have decided to phase out support, but not before making an effort to get as many of these Emacs package slit out of the repositories they are currently being maintained in.

    • For maintainers of this repository any issue about the elisp libraries is likely just more noise. They have better things to do.

    • On the other hand, the original authors of the elisp libraries and people who have contributed to them, likely have notifications for this repository disabled because they only contribute to the elisp parts and there would just be too much noise otherwise. So issues and pull-requests by users are likely to go unnoticed for a long time.

      The author and contributors likely have to be explicitly summoned, as I am doing now: @eccentricon @rex4539

    • Potential contributors are discouraged when their pull-requests are being "ignored" or they might be discouraged by the additional requirements imposed by the project as a whole, and not even try to contribute as a result.

    • Users who install elisp packages by manually cloning their repositories and then manually adding the appropriate directories to the load-path, are forced to clone a huge repository just to get their hands on a few elisp libraries in some subdirectory. (Or they can use the filtered repositories on the Emacsmirror, but as I mentioned, those are going away.)

    So in summary, I think there are many downsides to maintaining the elisp libraries in this repository. I am not sure there are any upsides, except that it is the status quo.

    Moving the elip libraries out of here is some work, that someone has to do, but most of that work is already done. You can just clone the respective repository from the Emacsmirror (at https://github.com/emacsmirror/google-c-style) and publish it somewhere else. (Please check that no recent history is missing and if the mirror repository is not uptodate, then ping me.)

    Once you have done that tell me about it here, and I will take care of updating Melpa and the Emacsmirror.

    Thanks for considering! Jonas

  • Eclipse format changes single-line javadocs

    Eclipse format changes single-line javadocs

    The eclipse-java-google-style.xml specifies that javadoc should always be the "basic" format:

    The basic formatting of Javadoc blocks is as seen in this example:
    
    /**
     * Multiple lines of Javadoc text are written here,
     * wrapped normally...
     */
    public int method(String p1) { ... }
    

    but that single-line javadocs are allowed when it fits on one line.

    Other tools (like that google formatter in spotless maven plugin) reflows this to a single line when possible.

    The solution is to change one settings in the eclipse format profile to be:

    <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.new_lines_at_javadoc_boundaries" value="false"/>

  • Eclipse java style does not specify space between import groups

    Eclipse java style does not specify space between import groups

    As per the Java Style Guide:

    If there are both static and non-static imports, a single blank line separates the two blocks.

    But the eclipse-java-google-style.xml specifies a value of 0, when it should be 1.

    <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.blank_lines_between_import_groups" value="0"/>
    

    It seems that the Google formatter implementation for Eclipse does not organize imports, so you have to separately configure the Organize Imports ordering in Eclipse settings, but then this value removes the line between static and non-static imports.

    These style guides are copies of Google's internal style guides to assist developers working on Google owned and originated open source projects. Changes should be made to the internal style guide first and only then copied here.

    Unsolicited pull requests will not be merged and are usually closed without comment. If a PR points out a simple mistake — a typo, a broken link, etc. — then the correction can be made internally and copied here through the usual process.

    Substantive changes to the style rules and suggested new rules should not be submitted as a PR in this repository. Material changes must be proposed, discussed, and approved on the internal forums first.

Supplemental source code for "A Halfedge Refinement Rule for Parallel Catmull-Clark Subdivision".

This repository provides source code to reproduce some of the results of my paper "A Halfedge Refinement Rule for Parallel Catmull-Clark Subdivision". The key contribution of this paper is to provide super simple algorithms to compute Catmull-Clark subdivision in parallel with support for semi-sharp creases. The algorithms are compiled in the C header-only library CatmullClark.h. In addition you will find a direct GLSL port of these algorithms in the glsl/ folder. For various usage examples, see the examples/ folder.
