tlbuild: Coding conventions
8 Coding conventions
********************
Ideally, building all of TeX Live with '--enable-compiler-warnings=max'
should produce no (GCC) compiler warnings at all. In spite of
considerable efforts into that direction we are still far from that goal
and there are reasons that we may never fully reach it. Below are some
rules about declarations of functions or variables and the use of
'const'. These rules should be applied to the code maintained in the
TeX Live tree and for other packages whose maintainers are willing to
accept patches.
