- Abbreviations used in function names must be defined in the Glossary
- Function names should neither be too long, nor too short
- Function name should be clear and unambiguous
- Abbreviations used in parameter names must be defined in the Glossary
- Parameter names should neither be too long, nor too short
- Parameter names should be clear and unambiguous
- Symbol versioning is correct for breaking changes
- ABI/API changes are forward-compatible (breaking backwards-compatibility to add additional symbols is fine)
- Functions should return the most specific type possible
- Functions should require the most general type possible
- Function parameters should use enum types instead of boolean types wherever sensible
- Wherever possible, function parameters should be
const
- Wherever possible, return types should be
const
- Functions should have the least amount of parameters feasible
- Functions should do exactly one thing
- Function name has the appropriate prefix
- No functions with similar purpose exist
- Memory Management should be handled by the function wherever possible
- Function is easily extensible, e.g., with flags
- Documentation does not impose limits, that would hinder further extensions
- Function code is fully covered by tests
- All possible error states are covered by tests
- All possible enum values are covered by tests
- No inconsistencies between tests and documentation
