Code Style

Please follow this code style when contributing to rwkv.cpp.

This list is not complete.

General

Overall, keep code in similar style as it was before.

Keep lines at 180 characters or shorter.
Separate logically grouped pieces of code with empty lines.
Surround if, for, while, do and other similar statements with empty lines.
Write documentation for public functions indended for outside use.
Place single-line comments on the line before, not right after the code line.
Start comments with a capital letter, use correct grammar and punctuation.

C/C++

Use 4 spaces for indentation.
Use The One True Brace Style:
- Place braces on the same line as the statement.
- Always add braces to if, for, while, do and other similar statements.

Python

Use 2 spaces for indentation.
Specify types for functions and parameters.
- For void functions, specify -> None.
Specifying types for local variables:
- required, if they are global
- required, if they are compound (lists, dicts, optionals, etc.)
- optional otherwise.
Use types from typing (List, Dict) instead of built-in (list, dict).
