## Chapter 2. Code Style

- indent with tabs (width 8)

- don't write CPP when you can write C: use inline functions and enums instead of macros

- the code should be C99 compliant, and must compile with GCC; clang support is highly desirable

- C++ is ok (for integrating C++ only libraries), but it should be avoided

- Some example code:

      static inline bool
      foo(const char *abc, int xyz)
      {
              if (abc == NULL) {
                      g_warning("Foo happened!\n");
                      return -1;
              }

              return xyz;
      }
