Code Janitorial
Here is some samples janitorial task you can pick up:
General appearance
Keeping the source uniformly less than 78 characters wide so it and patches both fit nicely on a 80 column screen is good general practice but it doesn't always happen. Thus an opportunity to reformat clearly overlong lines.
Function header
The function header commentary isn't uniformed across files. We suggest you to try to tidy this.
/************************************************************************** |
* Get the Media descriptor associated with the instance * | <- function header commentary
**************************************************************************/ |
libvlc_media_descriptor_t *
libvlc_media_instance_get_media_descriptor(
libvlc_media_instance_t *p_mi,
libvlc_exception_t *p_e )
{
...
}
Janitorial commits
Please, please do not mix cosmetic (reformatting and so on) changes with changes that alter code behaviour in the same commit. Put them in a separate commit marked with Cosmetic: (description here). Make sure the changes compile before you commit anyway.
Doxygen
You can document some parts of VLC's code that aren't correctly documented using Doxygen. Ask on IRC for help.
Warning fixes
Some warnings are easy to fix, don't hesitate to provide a fix.
