+GENIVI Boot Manager Coding Style
+================================
+
+This document intends to give information about the coding style to be
+used when contributing code to the GENIVI Boot Manager. It does not
+claim to be complete. Parts of it are taken or inspired from the Clutter
+coding style document.
+
+In the following, the most important requirements for writing consistent
+code for the GENIVI Boot Manager are explained.
+
+Table of Contents:
+ * Line Width
+ * Whitespace
+ * Indentation and Braces
+ * Functions and Braces
+ * Empty Lines
+ * Variable Declarations
+ * Assertions
+ * More on Conditions
+ * Header Files
+ * Loops and Loop Termination
+
+
+Line Width
+==========
+
+The maximum line width for source files is 90 characters. This limit may
+be exceeded when there is no way around it. Accepted ways to wrap long
+lines caused by function calls are
+
+ result = some_function_with_a_very_long_name (first_parameter,
+ second_parameter,
+ third_parameter);
+
+and
+
+ long_result_variable =
+ some_function_with_a_very_long_name (first_parameter,
+ second_parameter,
+ third_parameter);
+
+where the result variable name is too long to fit the function call
+into the 90 characters limit even when wrapping the parameters.
+
+Do not separate the function name from its arguments like this:
+
+ /* bad */
+ some_function_with_a_long_name
+ (long_argument_name1, long_argument_name2);
+
+Instead, consider using shorter variable names as aliases:
+
+ /* good */
+ short1 = long_argument_name1;
+ short2 = long_argument_name2;
+ some_function_with_a_long_name (short1, short2);
+
+The line width limit of 90 characters does not apply to header files.
+However the alignment and parameter indentation rules explained in the
+section "Functions and Braces" still apply to header files.
+
+
+Whitespace
+==========
+
+Always insert a space before a parenthesis but never after or
+between the opening or closing parenthesis and a parameter.
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ foo (argument1, argument2);
+
+ /* bad */
+ if(condition)
+ foo(argument1, argument2);
+
+ /* bad */
+ if ( condition )
+ foo ( argument1, argument 2 );
+
+
+Indentation and Braces
+======================
+
+Use spaces only, tabs are not allowed. The indentation for each level is
+2 spaces in addition to the previous level. Braces add another level of
+indentation. Valid indentations and uses of braces are:
+
+Single-line statements:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ single_line_statement ();
+
+Multiple statements:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ a_statement ();
+ another_statement ();
+ }
+
+Multiple and single statements:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ a_statement ();
+ another_statement ();
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ one_more_statement ();
+ }
+
+Do and while loops:
+
+ /* good */
+ while (foo)
+ {
+ bar ();
+ }
+
+ /* good */
+ do
+ {
+ bar ();
+ }
+ while (foo);
+
+Switch statements:
+
+ /* good */
+ switch (condition)
+ {
+ case FOO:
+ do_something ();
+ break;
+ case BAR:
+ do_something_else ();
+ break;
+ default:
+ do_whatever_you_need_to_do ();
+ break;
+ }
+
+ /* bad */
+ switch (condition) {
+ case FOO:
+ do_something ();
+ break;
+ }
+
+ /* bad */
+ switch (condition)
+ {
+ case FOO:
+ do_something ();
+ break;
+ }
+
+ /* bad */
+ switch (condition)
+ {
+ case FOO: do_something ();
+ break;
+ }
+
+ /* bad */
+ switch (condition)
+ {
+ case FOO:
+ do_something ();
+ break;
+ }
+
+Nested if statements:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ /* here the same rules as on the top level apply again */
+ if (another_condition)
+ single_statement ();
+ else if (yet_another_condition)
+ another_single_statement ();
+ }
+
+Do not put curly braces into the same line as the condition:
+
+ /* bad */
+ if (condition) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Do not asymmetrically use and not use braces:
+
+ /* bad */
+ if (condition)
+ {
+ /* multiple statements */
+ }
+ else
+ single_statement ();
+
+If there are multiple conditions in a single if statement spread across
+more than one line, always use curly braces:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition1
+ && condition2)
+ {
+ /* multiple or single statement(s) */
+ }
+
+
+Functions and Braces
+====================
+
+Braces in function definitions are not indented. Parameters are to be
+wrapped and aligned so that the end results looks like this:
+
+Function declarations:
+
+ /* good */
+ static gchar *some_type_your_function (SomeType *object,
+ int another parameter,
+ gchar **and_another_one);
+ static gboolean some_type_some_longer_function_name (SomeType *object);
+
+Function definitions:
+
+ /* good */
+ static gchar *
+ some_type_your_function (SomeType *object,
+ int another_parameter,
+ gchar **and_another_one)
+ {
+ /* declarations */
+ /* assertions */
+ /* actual code */
+ }
+
+Do not declare functions like this:
+
+ /* bad */
+ static gchar *some_type_your_function (SomeType *object,
+ int another parameter,
+ gchar **and_another_one);
+ static gboolean some_type_some_longer_function_name (SomeType *object);
+
+Or like this:
+
+ /* bad */
+ static gchar *some_type_your_function (SomeType *object, int another parameter, gchar **and_another_one);
+ static gboolean some_type_some_longer_function_name (SomeType *object);
+
+
+Empty Lines
+===========
+
+Between declarations of groups of structs, enums, functions, static
+variables and macros there have to be three empty lines to make the
+different items easier to spot and distinguish. There also have to be
+three empty lines between function definitions.
+
+Also, when declaring data structures, use newlines to separate logical
+sections of member variables:
+
+ struct _LucHandlerService
+ {
+ /* Current LUC content */
+ GHashTable *current_content;
+ GSettings *settings;
+
+ /* NSM shutdown consumer */
+ ShutdownConsumer *shutdown_consumer;
+
+ /* protection against threads */
+ GMutex *mutex;
+ };
+
+
+Variable Declarations
+=====================
+
+Variables may only be declared at the top of a function. Variable
+declarations in blocks (code surrounded by braces) are not allowed.
+
+Declarations follow special alignment and sorting rules. The sorting
+order of declarations is determined by:
+
+ 1. number of characters of the variable type
+ 2. ascending alphabetical order of the type (case-insensitive)
+ 3. ascending alphabetical order of the variable name
+
+Here is an example of how a variable declaration sequence has to
+look like:
+
+ GbmgrLegacyAppHandlerService *service;
+ NSMShutdownConsumer *consumer;
+ const gchar *object_name;
+ GVariant *variant;
+ gchar *name;
+ guint n;
+
+
+Assertions
+==========
+
+In order to make it easier to detect broken code paths, assertions in
+the form of g_return_if_fail() and g_return_val_if_fail() statements are
+used in almost all methods. When implementing new methods in your code,
+please make sure to check the input parameters for type incompatiblities
+or memory corruption.
+
+
+More on Conditions
+==================
+
+Do not check boolean values for equality like this:
+
+ /* bad */
+ if (condition == TRUE)
+ ...
+
+Instead, just do it like this:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition)
+ ...
+
+Be explicit when checking pointers however:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (some_pointer == NULL)
+ ...
+
+ /* good */
+ if (some_pointer != NULL)
+ ...
+
+Do not simply do it like this:
+
+ /* bad */
+ if (some_pointer)
+ ...
+
+If you have so many conditions in an if statement that you need to split
+them up into multiple lines, the logical operatiors should always be
+placed at the beginning of the line, like this:
+
+ /* good */
+ if (condition1
+ || condition 2
+ || condition 3)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Don't place the logical operators at the end of the line:
+
+ /* bad */
+ if (condition1 ||
+ condition2 ||
+ conidition3)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+
+Header Files
+============
+
+Header files should always include the following code in addition to the
+license header (example for gbmgr-data-structure.h):
+
+ #ifndef __GBMGR_DATA_STRUCTURE_H__
+ #define __GBMGR_DATA_STRUCTURE_H__
+
+ #include <something-that-also-includes-glib-object.h>
+
+ G_BEGIN_DECLS
+
+ ...
+
+ G_END_DECLS
+
+ #endif /* !__GBMGR_DATA_STRUCTURE_H__ */
+
+
+
+Loops and Loop Termination
+==========================
+
+When writing loops, try to avoid break statements. Instead of breaking
+on some condition move the condition into the loop header to make more
+clear when the loop is supposed to be terminated.
+
+So, instead of doing
+
+ /* bad */
+ for (n = 0; n < some_value; ++n)
+ {
+ if (some_other_condition)
+ break;
+
+ ...
+ }
+
+do it like this:
+
+ /* good */
+ for (n = 0; !some_other_condition && n < some_value; ++n)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+If the loop header exceeds the 90 character limit per line, split it up
+into multiple lines (in which case you are required to add curly braces
+of course):
+
+ /* good */
+ for (n = 0;
+ !some_other_condition && n < some_value;
+ ++n)
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Try to avoid while loops where you can. Some GLib data structures
+such as iterators encourage the use of while loops. In those cases it's
+ok not to use for loops.

+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+ or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+ modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+ Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+ Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+ its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+ Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+ the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+ Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+ than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+ License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+ license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+ the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+************************************************************************
+
+8. Litigation
+-------------
+
+Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
+courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
+place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
+jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.

+cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+9. Miscellaneous
+----------------
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
+that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
+shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
+
+10. Versions of the License
