Git

The "master" branch is considered stable, at all times. The "develop" branch is the one where all contributions must be merged before being promoted to master. If you plan to propose a patch, please pull-request it into the "develop" branch, or its own feature branch. Direct commit to "master" are not permitted.

C++ coding style

The #define Guard

All header files should have #define guards to prevent multiple inclusion. The format of the symbol name should be <APE>_<PLUGINNAME>_H.

#ifndef APE_TESTERPLUGIN_H
#define APE_TESTERPLUGIN_H
​
...
​
#endif  // APE_TESTERPLUGIN_H
