With rare exceptions ...
- Always separate line continuation characters by one space from
preceding code.
- Always use two-space indentation. Never use tabs.
- Always use K&R-style conditional blocks.
- Always surround operators with spaces, except in raw assembly code.
- Always put a space after, but not before, a comma.
- Never put a space between type casts and variables/function calls.
- Never put a space between the function name and the argument list in
function declarations and prototypes.
- Always surround braces ('{' and '}') with spaces.
- Always surround statements (if, for, else, catch, while, do, switch)
with spaces.
- Always attach pointer symbols ('*' and '**') to the variable or
function name.
- Always precede pointer symbols ('*' and '**') by a space in type
casts.
- Use the MIN() macro from jpegint.h within the libjpeg and TurboJPEG
API libraries (using min() from tjutil.h is still necessary for
TJBench.)
- Where it makes sense (particularly in the TurboJPEG code), put a blank
line after variable declaration blocks.
- Always separate statements in one-liners by two spaces.
The purpose of this was to ease maintenance on my part and also to make
it easier for contributors to figure out how to format patch
submissions. This was admittedly confusing (even to me sometimes) when
we had 3 or 4 different style conventions in the same source tree. The
new convention is more consistent with the formatting of other OSS code
bases.
This commit corrects deviations from the chosen formatting style in the
libjpeg API code and reformats the TurboJPEG API code such that it
conforms to the same standard.
NOTES:
- Although it is no longer necessary for the function name in function
declarations to begin in Column 1 (this was historically necessary
because of the ansi2knr utility, which allowed libjpeg to be built
with non-ANSI compilers), we retain that formatting for the libjpeg
code because it improves readability when using libjpeg's function
attribute macros (GLOBAL(), etc.)
- This reformatting project was accomplished with the help of AStyle and
Uncrustify, although neither was completely up to the task, and thus
a great deal of manual tweaking was required. Note to developers of
code formatting utilities: the libjpeg-turbo code base is an
excellent test bed, because AFAICT, it breaks every single one of the
utilities that are currently available.
- The legacy (MMX, SSE, 3DNow!) assembly code for i386 has been
formatted to match the SSE2 code (refer to
ff5685d5344273df321eb63a005eaae19d2496e3.) I hadn't intended to
bother with this, but the Loongson MMI implementation demonstrated
that there is still academic value to the MMX implementation, as an
algorithmic model for other 64-bit vector implementations. Thus, it
is desirable to improve its readability in the same manner as that of
the SSE2 implementation.
The IJG convention is to format copyright notices as:
Copyright (C) YYYY, Owner.
We try to maintain this convention for any code that is part of the
libjpeg API library (with the exception of preserving the copyright
notices from Cendio's code verbatim, since those predate
libjpeg-turbo.)
Note that the phrase "All Rights Reserved" is no longer necessary, since
all Buenos Aires Convention signatories signed onto the Berne Convention
in 2000. However, our convention is to retain this phrase for any files
that have a self-contained copyright header but to leave it off of any
files that refer to another file for conditions of distribution and use.
For instance, all of the non-SIMD files in the libjpeg API library refer
to README.ijg, and the copyright message in that file contains "All
Rights Reserved", so it is unnecessary to add it to the individual
files.
The TurboJPEG code retains my preferred formatting convention for
copyright notices, which is based on that of VirtualGL (where the
TurboJPEG API originated.)
The convention used by libjpeg:
type * variable;
is not very common anymore, because it looks too much like
multiplication. Some (particularly C++ programmers) prefer to tuck the
pointer symbol against the type:
type* variable;
to emphasize that a pointer to a type is effectively a new type.
However, this can also be confusing, since defining multiple variables
on the same line would not work properly:
type* variable1, variable2; /* Only variable1 is actually a
pointer. */
This commit reformats the entirety of the libjpeg-turbo code base so
that it uses the same code formatting convention for pointers that the
TurboJPEG API code uses:
type *variable1, *variable2;
This seems to be the most common convention among C programmers, and
it is the convention used by other codec libraries, such as libpng and
libtiff.

Refer to #42 for discussion. Numerous other approaches were attempted,
but this one proved to be the most performant across all platforms.
This commit also fixes#3 (works around, really-- the clang-compiled version
of jchuff.c still performs 20% worse than its GCC-compiled counterpart, but
that code is now bypassed by the new SSE2 Huffman algorithm.)
Based on:
2cb4d4133036c94e050d
Fix a regression introduced in 1.4.1 that prevented 32-bit and 64-bit
libjpeg-turbo RPMs from being installed simultaneously on recent Red
Hat/Fedora distributions. This was due to the addition of the
SIZEOF_SIZE_T macro in jconfig.h, which allows the Huffman codec to
determine the word size at compile time. Since that macro differs
between 32-bit and 64-bit builds, this caused a conflict between the
i386 and x86_64 RPMs (any differing files, other than executables, are
not allowed when 32-bit and 64-bit RPMs are installed simultaneously.)
Since the macro is used only internally, it has been moved into
jconfigint.h.
These days, INT32 is a commonly-defined datatype in system headers. We
cannot eliminate the definition of that datatype from jmorecfg.h, since
the INT32 typedef has technically been part of the libjpeg API since
version 5 (1994.) However, using INT32 internally is risky, because the
inclusion of a particular header (Xmd.h, for instance) could change the
definition of INT32 from long to int on 64-bit platforms and thus change
the internal behavior of libjpeg-turbo in unexpected ways (for instance,
failing to correctly set __INT32_IS_ACTUALLY_LONG to match the INT32
typedef-- perhaps as a result of including the wrong version of
jpeglib.h-- could cause libjpeg-turbo to produce incorrect results.)
The library has always been built in environments in which INT32 is
effectively long (on Windows, long is always 32-bit, so effectively it's
the same as int), so it makes sense to turn INT32 into an explicitly
long datatype. This ensures that libjpeg-turbo will always behave
consistently, regardless of the headers included at compile time.
Addresses a concern expressed in #26.
The IJG README file has been renamed to README.ijg, in order to avoid
confusion (many people were assuming that that was our project's README
file and weren't reading README-turbo.txt) and to lay the groundwork for
markdown versions of the libjpeg-turbo README and build instructions.
