+@cindex accepting contributions
+
+If the program you are working on is copyrighted by the Free Software
+Foundation, then when someone else sends you a piece of code to add to
+the program, we need legal papers to use it---just as we asked you to
+sign papers initially. @emph{Each} person who makes a nontrivial
+contribution to a program must sign some sort of legal papers in order
+for us to have clear title to the program; the main author alone is not
enough.
So, before adding in any contributions from other people, please tell
law, comments and code are just text. Copyright applies to all kinds of
text, so we need legal papers for all kinds.
+We know it is frustrating to ask for legal papers; it's frustrating for
+us as well. But if you don't wait, you are going out on a limb---for
+example, what if the contributor's employer won't sign a disclaimer?
+You might have to take that code out again!
+
You don't need papers for changes of a few lines here or there, since
they are not significant for copyright purposes. Also, you don't need
papers if all you get from the suggestion is some ideas, not actual code
-which you use. For example, if you write a different solution to the
-problem, you don't need to get papers.

+you write a different implementation of the same idea, you don't need to

The very worst thing is if you forget to tell us about the other
contributor. We could be very embarrassed in court some day as a
reached the stage of actually maintaining a program for GNU (whether
released or not), please ask us for a copy.

+@section Trademarks
+@cindex trademarks
+
+Please do not include any trademark acknowledgements in GNU software
+packages or documentation.
+
+Trademark acknowledgements are the statements that such-and-such is a
+trademark of so-and-so. The GNU Project has no objection to the basic
+idea of trademarks, but these acknowledgements feel like kowtowing, so
+we don't use them. There is no legal requirement for them.
+
+What is legally required, as regards other people's trademarks, is to
+avoid using them in ways which a reader might read as naming or labeling
+our own programs or activities. For example, since ``Objective C'' is
+(or at least was) a trademark, we made sure to say that we provide a
+``compiler for the Objective C language'' rather than an ``Objective C
+compiler''. The latter is meant to be short for the former, but it does
+not explicitly state the relationship, so it could be misinterpreted as
+using ``Objective C'' as a label for the compiler rather than for the
+language.

@node Design Advice
@chapter General Program Design
+@cindex program design
This @value{CHAPTER} discusses some of the issues you should take into
account when designing your program.
+@c Standard or ANSI C
+@c
+@c In 1989 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standardized
+@c C as standard X3.159-1989. In December of that year the
+@c International Standards Organization ISO adopted the ANSI C standard
+@c making minor changes. In 1990 ANSI then re-adopted ISO standard
+@c C. This version of C is known as either ANSI C or Standard C.
+
+@c A major revision of the C Standard appeared in 1999.

@end menu
+@node Source Language
+@section Which Languages to Use
+@cindex programming languges
+
+When you want to use a language that gets compiled and runs at high
+speed, the best language to use is C. Using another language is like
+using a non-standard feature: it will cause trouble for users. Even if
+GCC supports the other language, users may find it inconvenient to have
+to install the compiler for that other language in order to build your
+program. For example, if you write your program in C++, people will
+have to install the GNU C++ compiler in order to compile your program.
+
+C has one other advantage over C++ and other compiled languages: more
+people know C, so more people will find it easy to read and modify the
+program if it is written in C.
+
+So in general it is much better to use C, rather than the
+comparable alternatives.
+
+But there are two exceptions to that conclusion:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+It is no problem to use another language to write a tool specifically
+intended for use with that language. That is because the only people
+who want to build the tool will be those who have installed the other
+language anyway.
+
+@item
+If an application is of interest only to a narrow part of the community,
+then the question of which language it is written in has less effect on
+other people, so you may as well please yourself.
+@end itemize
+
+Many programs are designed to be extensible: they include an interpreter
+for a language that is higher level than C. Often much of the program
+is written in that language, too. The Emacs editor pioneered this
+technique.
+
+@cindex GUILE
+The standard extensibility interpreter for GNU software is GUILE, which
+implements the language Scheme (an especially clean and simple dialect
+of Lisp). @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/}. We don't reject
+programs written in other ``scripting languages'' such as Perl and
+Python, but using GUILE is very important for the overall consistency of
+the GNU system.
+
@node Compatibility
@section Compatibility with Other Implementations
+@cindex compatibility with C and @sc{posix} standards
+@cindex @sc{posix} compatibility
With occasional exceptions, utility programs and libraries for GNU
should be upward compatible with those in Berkeley Unix, and upward

-upward compatible with @sc{POSIX} if @sc{POSIX} specifies their

modes for each of them.

-to make the extensions anyway, and include a @samp{--ansi},

feature as well. (There is a free @code{vi} clone, so we offer it.)
-Additional useful features not in Berkeley Unix are welcome.
+Additional useful features are welcome regardless of whether

@node Using Extensions
@section Using Non-standard Features
+@cindex non-standard extensions
Many GNU facilities that already exist support a number of convenient
extensions over the comparable Unix facilities. Whether to use these
are a big improvement.
An exception to this rule are the large, established programs (such as
-Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Such programs would
-be broken by use of GNU extensions.
+Emacs) which run on a great variety of systems. Using GNU extensions in
+such programs would make many users unhappy, so we don't do that.
+
+Another exception is for programs that are used as part of compilation:
+anything that must be compiled with other compilers in order to
+bootstrap the GNU compilation facilities. If these require the GNU
+compiler, then no one can compile them without having them installed
+already. That would be extremely troublesome in certain cases.

+@node Standard C
+@section Standard C and Pre-Standard C
+@cindex @sc{ansi} C standard
-@node ANSI C
-@section @sc{ansi} C and pre-@sc{ansi} C
+1989 Standard C is widespread enough now that it is ok to use its
+features in new programs. There is one exception: do not ever use the
+``trigraph'' feature of Standard C.
-Do not ever use the ``trigraph'' feature of @sc{ansi} C.
+1999 Standard C is not widespread yet, so please do not require its
+features in programs. It is ok to use its features if they are present.
-@sc{ansi} C is widespread enough now that it is ok to write new programs
-that use @sc{ansi} C features (and therefore will not work in
-non-@sc{ansi} compilers). And if a program is already written in
-@sc{ansi} C, there's no need to convert it to support non-@sc{ansi}
-compilers.
+However, it is easy to support pre-standard compilers in most programs,
+so if you know how to do that, feel free. If a program you are
+maintaining has such support, you should try to keep it working.
-However, it is easy to support non-@sc{ansi} compilers in most programs,
-so you might still consider doing so when you write a program. Instead
-of writing function definitions in @sc{ansi} prototype form,
+@cindex function prototypes
+To support pre-standard C, instead of writing function definitions in
+standard prototype form,
@example
int
@end example
@noindent
-write the definition in pre-@sc{ansi} style like this,
+write the definition in pre-standard style like this,
@example
int
@end example
You need such a declaration anyway, in a header file, to get the benefit
-of @sc{ansi} C prototypes in all the files where the function is called.
-And once you have it, you lose nothing by writing the function
-definition in the pre-@sc{ansi} style.
+of prototypes in all the files where the function is called. And once
+you have the declaration, you normally lose nothing by writing the
+function definition in the pre-standard style.
+
+This technique does not work for integer types narrower than @code{int}.
+If you think of an argument as being of a type narrower than @code{int},
+declare it as @code{int} instead.
+
+There are a few special cases where this technique is hard to use. For
+example, if a function argument needs to hold the system type
+@code{dev_t}, you run into trouble, because @code{dev_t} is shorter than
+@code{int} on some machines; but you cannot use @code{int} instead,
+because @code{dev_t} is wider than @code{int} on some machines. There
+is no type you can safely use on all machines in a non-standard
+definition. The only way to support non-standard C and pass such an
+argument is to check the width of @code{dev_t} using Autoconf and choose
+the argument type accordingly. This may not be worth the trouble.
+
+In order to support pre-standard compilers that do not recognize
+prototypes, you may want to use a preprocessor macro like this:
-If you don't know non-@sc{ansi} C, there's no need to learn it; just
-write in @sc{ansi} C.
+@example
+/* Declare the prototype for a general external function. */
+#if defined (__STDC__) || defined (WINDOWSNT)
+#define P_(proto) proto
+#else
+#define P_(proto) ()
+#endif
+@end example
-@node Source Language
-@section Using Languages Other Than C
+@node Conditional Compilation
+@section Conditional Compilation
-Using a language other than C is like using a non-standard feature: it
-will cause trouble for users. Even if GCC supports the other language,
-users may find it inconvenient to have to install the compiler for that
-other language in order to build your program. For example, if you
-write your program in C++, people will have to install the C++ compiler
-in order to compile your program. Thus, it is better if you write in C.
+When supporting configuration options already known when building your
+program we prefer using @code{if (... )} over conditional compilation,
+as in the former case the compiler is able to perform more extensive
+checking of all possible code paths.
-But there are three situations when there is no disadvantage in using
-some other language:
+For example, please write
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-It is okay to use another language if your program contains an
-interpreter for that language.
+@smallexample
+ if (HAS_FOO)
+ ...
+ else
+ ...
+@end smallexample
-For example, if your program links with GUILE, it is ok to write part of
-the program in Scheme or another language supported by GUILE.
+instead of:
-@item
-It is okay to use another language in a tool specifically intended for
-use with that language.
+@smallexample
+ #ifdef HAS_FOO
+ ...
+ #else
+ ...
+ #endif
+@end smallexample
-This is okay because the only people who want to build the tool will be
-those who have installed the other language anyway.
+A modern compiler such as GCC will generate exactly the same code in
+both cases, and we have been using similar techniques with good success
+in several projects.
-@item
-If an application is of interest to a narrow community, then perhaps
-it's not important if the application is inconvenient to install.
-@end itemize
+While this is not a silver bullet solving all portability problems,
+following this policy would have saved the GCC project alone many person
+hours if not days per year.
-C has one other advantage over C++ and other compiled languages: more
-people know C, so more people will find it easy to read and modify the
-program if it is written in C.
+In the case of function-like macros like @code{REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE} in
+GCC which cannot be simply used in @code{if( ...)} statements, there is
+an easy workaround. Simply introduce another macro
+@code{HAS_REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE} as in the following example:
+
+@smallexample
+ #ifdef REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE
+ #define HAS_REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE 1
+ #else
+ #define HAS_REVERSIBLE_CC_MODE 0
+ #endif

@section Writing Robust Programs
+@cindex arbitrary limits on data
Avoid arbitrary limits on the length or number of @emph{any} data
structure, including file names, lines, files, and symbols, by allocating
all data structures dynamically. In most Unix utilities, ``long lines
are silently truncated''. This is not acceptable in a GNU utility.
+@cindex @code{NUL} characters
Utilities reading files should not drop NUL characters, or any other
-nonprinting characters @emph{including those with codes above 0177}. The
-only sensible exceptions would be utilities specifically intended for
-interface to certain types of printers that can't handle those characters.
-
+nonprinting characters @emph{including those with codes above 0177}.
+The only sensible exceptions would be utilities specifically intended
+for interface to certain types of terminals or printers
+that can't handle those characters.
+Whenever possible, try to make programs work properly with
+sequences of bytes that represent multibyte characters, using encodings
+such as UTF-8 and others.
+
+@cindex error messages
Check every system call for an error return, unless you know you wish to
ignore errors. Include the system error text (from @code{perror} or
equivalent) in @emph{every} error message resulting from a failing
utility. Just ``cannot open foo.c'' or ``stat failed'' is not
sufficient.
+@cindex @code{malloc} return value
+@cindex memory allocation failure
Check every call to @code{malloc} or @code{realloc} to see if it
returned zero. Check @code{realloc} even if you are making the block
smaller; in a system that rounds block sizes to a power of 2,
reader loop. This allows the user to kill other processes to free up
virtual memory, and then try the command again.
+@cindex command-line arguments, decoding
Use @code{getopt_long} to decode arguments, unless the argument syntax
makes this unreasonable.
as file directories, utmp, or the layout of kernel memory), since these
are less likely to work compatibly. If you need to find all the files
in a directory, use @code{readdir} or some other high-level interface.
-These will be supported compatibly by GNU.
+These are supported compatibly by GNU.
-By default, the GNU system will provide the signal handling functions of
-@sc{BSD} and of @sc{POSIX}. So GNU software should be written to use
-these.
+@cindex signal handling
+The preferred signal handling facilities are the BSD variant of
+@code{signal}, and the @sc{posix} @code{sigaction} function; the
+alternative USG @code{signal} interface is an inferior design.
+Nowadays, using the @sc{posix} signal functions may be the easiest way
+to make a program portable. If you use @code{signal}, then on GNU/Linux
+systems running GNU libc version 1, you should include
+@file{bsd/signal.h} instead of @file{signal.h}, so as to get BSD
+behavior. It is up to you whether to support systems where
+@code{signal} has only the USG behavior, or give up on them.
+
+@cindex impossible conditions
In error checks that detect ``impossible'' conditions, just abort.
There is usually no point in printing any message. These checks
indicate the existence of bugs. Whoever wants to fix the bugs will have
errors; if you try to return 256 as the exit status, the parent process
will see 0 as the status, and it will appear that the program succeeded.
+@cindex temporary files
+@cindex @code{TMPDIR} environment variable
If you make temporary files, check the @code{TMPDIR} environment
variable; if that variable is defined, use the specified directory
instead of @file{/tmp}.
+In addition, be aware that there is a possible security problem when
+creating temporary files in world-writable directories. In C, you can
+avoid this problem by creating temporary files in this manner:
+
+@example
+fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0600);
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+or by using the @code{mkstemps} function from libiberty.
+
+In bash, use @code{set -C} to avoid this problem.

@section Library Behavior

storage allocation, at least try to avoid any nonreentrancy aside from

+followed by the chosen name prefix for the library, to prevent
+collisions with other libraries. These can go in the same files with
+user entry points if you like.
Static functions and variables can be used as you like and need not
fit any naming convention.
@node Errors
@section Formatting Error Messages
+@cindex formatting error messages
+@cindex error messages, formatting
Error messages from compilers should look like this:
@var{source-file-name}:@var{lineno}: @var{message}
@end example
+@noindent
+If you want to mention the column number, use this format:
+
+@example
+@var{source-file-name}:@var{lineno}:@var{column}: @var{message}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Line numbers should start from 1 at the beginning of the file, and
+column numbers should start from 1 at the beginning of the line. (Both
+of these conventions are chosen for compatibility.) Calculate column
+numbers assuming that space and all ASCII printing characters have
+equal width, and assuming tab stops every 8 columns.
+
Error messages from other noninteractive programs should look like this:
@example
@noindent
when there is no relevant source file.
+If you want to mention the column number, use this format:
+
+@example
+@var{program}:@var{source-file-name}:@var{lineno}:@var{column}: @var{message}
+@end example
+
In an interactive program (one that is reading commands from a
terminal), it is better not to include the program name in an error
message. The place to indicate which program is running is in the
end with a period.

In the Unix world, ``portability'' refers to porting to different Unix
versions. For a GNU program, this kind of portability is desirable, but
not paramount.
The primary purpose of GNU software is to run on top of the GNU kernel,
-compiled with the GNU C compiler, on various types of @sc{cpu}. The
-amount and kinds of variation among GNU systems on different @sc{cpu}s
-will be comparable to the variation among Linux-based GNU systems or
-among BSD systems today. So the kinds of portability that are absolutely
-necessary are quite limited.

-But many users do run GNU software on non-GNU Unix or Unix-like systems.
-So supporting a variety of Unix-like systems is desirable, although not
-paramount.

+Beyond that, it is good to support the other free operating systems

+to. Supporting a variety of Unix-like systems is desirable, although
+not paramount. It is usually not too hard, so you may as well do it.
+But you don't have to consider it an obligation, if it does turn out to

use Autoconf. It's unlikely that your program needs to know more

Avoid using the format of semi-internal data bases (e.g., directories)

-is better if you don't.
-
-The planned GNU kernel is not finished yet, but you can tell which
-facilities it will provide by looking at the GNU C Library Manual. The
-GNU kernel is based on Mach, so the features of Mach will also be

+that is the case, it is better to spend your time adding features that
+will be useful on GNU and GNU/Linux, rather than on supporting other
+incompatible systems.
+
+It is a good idea to define the ``feature test macro''
+@code{_GNU_SOURCE} when compiling your C files. When you compile on GNU
+or GNU/Linux, this will enable the declarations of GNU library extension
+functions, and that will usually give you a compiler error message if
+you define the same function names in some other way in your program.
+(You don't have to actually @emph{use} these functions, if you prefer
+to make the program more portable to other systems.)

@node CPU Portability
@section Portability between @sc{cpu}s
+@cindex data types, and portability
+@cindex portability, and data types
Even GNU systems will differ because of differences among @sc{cpu}
types---for example, difference in byte ordering and alignment
requirements. It is absolutely essential to handle these differences.
@code{int} will be less than 32 bits. We don't support 16-bit machines
in GNU.
+Similarly, don't make any effort to cater to the possibility that
+@code{long} will be smaller than predefined types like @code{size_t}.
+For example, the following code is ok:
+
+@example
+printf ("size = %lu\n", (unsigned long) sizeof array);
+printf ("diff = %ld\n", (long) (pointer2 - pointer1));
+@end example
+
+1989 Standard C requires this to work, and we know of only one
+counterexample: 64-bit programs on Microsoft Windows IA-64. We will
+leave it to those who want to port GNU programs to that environment
+to figure out how to do it.
+
+Predefined file-size types like @code{off_t} are an exception: they are
+longer than @code{long} on many platforms, so code like the above won't
+work with them. One way to print an @code{off_t} value portably is to
+print its digits yourself, one by one.
+
Don't assume that the address of an @code{int} object is also the
address of its least-significant byte. This is false on big-endian
machines. Thus, don't make the following mistake:
When calling functions, you need not worry about the difference between
pointers of various types, or between pointers and integers. On most
machines, there's no difference anyway. As for the few machines where
-there is a difference, all of them support @sc{ansi} C, so you can use
-prototypes (conditionalized to be active only in @sc{ansi} C) to make
-the code work on those systems.
+there is a difference, all of them support Standard C prototypes, so you can
+use prototypes (perhaps conditionalized to be active only in Standard C)

In certain cases, it is ok to pass integer and pointer arguments
indiscriminately to the same function, and use no prototype on any

+@node Doc Strings and Manuals
+@section Doc Strings and Manuals
+
+Some programming systems, such as Emacs, provide a documentation string
+for each function, command or variable. You may be tempted to write a
+reference manual by compiling the documentation strings and writing a
+little additional text to go around them---but you must not do it. That
+approach is a fundamental mistake. The text of well-written
+documentation strings will be entirely wrong for a manual.
+
+A documentation string needs to stand alone---when it appears on the
+screen, there will be no other text to introduce or explain it.
+Meanwhile, it can be rather informal in style.
+
+The text describing a function or variable in a manual must not stand
+alone; it appears in the context of a section or subsection. Other text
+at the beginning of the section should explain some of the concepts, and
+should often make some general points that apply to several functions or
+variables. The previous descriptions of functions and variables in the
+section will also have given information about the topic. A description
+written to stand alone would repeat some of that information; this
+redundance looks bad. Meanwhile, the informality that is acceptable in
+a documentation string is totally unacceptable in a manual.
+
+The only good way to use documentation strings in writing a good manual
+is to use them as a source of information for writing good text.

+@node References
+@chapter References to Non-Free Software and Documentation
+@cindex references to non-free material
+
+A GNU program should not recommend use of any non-free program. We
+can't stop some people from writing proprietary programs, or stop
+other people from using them, but we can and should avoid helping to
+advertise them to new potential customers. Proprietary software is a
+social and ethical problem, and the point of GNU is to solve that
+problem.
+
+When a non-free program or system is well known, you can mention it in
+passing---that is harmless, since users who might want to use it
+probably already know about it. For instance, it is fine to explain
+how to build your package on top of some non-free operating system, or
+how to use it together with some widely used non-free program.
+
+However, you should give only the necessary information to help those
+who already use the non-free program to use your program with
+it---don't give, or refer to, any further information about the
+proprietary program, and don't imply that the proprietary program
+enhances your program, or that its existence is in any way a good
+thing. The goal should be that people already using the proprietary
+program will get the advice they need about how to use your free
+program, while people who don't already use the proprietary program
+will not see anything to lead them to take an interest in it.
+
+If a non-free program or system is obscure in your program's domain,
+your program should not mention or support it at all, since doing so
+would tend to popularize the non-free program more than it popularizes
+your program. (You cannot hope to find many additional users among
+the users of Foobar if the users of Foobar are few.)
+
+A GNU package should not refer the user to any non-free documentation
+for free software. Free documentation that can be included in free
+operating systems is essential for completing the GNU system, so it is
+a major focus of the GNU Project; to recommend use of documentation
+that we are not allowed to use in GNU would undermine the efforts to
+get documentation that we can include. So GNU packages should never
+recommend non-free documentation.
