Coding Guidelines

Similar to Google C++ Style Guide but with following exceptions:

No license boilerplate
Tabs instead of Spaces
Line length of 120 characters
#pragma once instead of #include guards

The code should be self-documenting, don't state the obvious! However, this does not make comments superfluous: Since good naming is sometimes not enough, more advanced parts need to be documented, so any operating system developer should be able to easily understand your code.

Naming Convention

Variables: lowercase with underscore
```
char* variable_name;
```
Constants (and enum values): uppercase with underscore
```
const int CONST_VALUE = 42;
```
Type Names (class/struct/namespace/enum): Capital letter, camel case
```
class SomeClassName;
```
Methods/Functions (C++): start with lowercase letter, then camel case
```
void someFunctionName();
```
extern "C" Functions: lowercase with underscore (like variables).
```
void interrupt_handler(int vector);
```
File Names: lowercase, main type name, underscores only if is a sub type
```
folder/classname.cc
```
