Code Conventions

Below is a list of the conventions used in the code. Some may be changed at a later date (enoted by TODO)

• Header files have extension .h, while source files have extension .cpp
• File names are all in lower case, with underscores delimiting words (ie. transition_system.h)
• Class names are in camel case, with the first letter capitalized.
• Member functions are in camel case, with the first letter uncapitalized.
• Member and local variables are in lower case, with underscores delimiting words.
• Non-member functions are in lower case, with underscores delimiting words. TODO: Is this really the best idea?
• TODO: Should we have a source file for all files including abstract files? Two files for each?
• TODO: Where to put the code in a templated function? Do the .cpp "include" hack? Does this work with non-class files with a mix of templated and untemplated functions?
