All partners
committed to use a good-programming standard during the Scientific
and Management Commettee Meeting held at the kick-off meeting of Rome.
In that occasion we set the basic principles of such standard (now these
might be refined on the basis of partners’ feedback: the updated version
will be kept by CNR on the IM-CLeVeR web).
The principles
are as follows:
- Object oriented
programming: everybody will use good programming object-oriented
practices
- Everybody will
structure the code of models in terms of:
- Initialisation
function: to be invoked once at the beginning of the program run;
will contain constructors, initialisations, parameter settings, etc.
- Step function:
to be invoked at every step of the simulations
- Doxygen comments:
Code will be commented using the standard ‘’Doxygen’’.
- Comments
will at least furnish this information on the code:
- Overall goals
and functioning of the model
- Meaning of variables
- Functionality
implemented by the step function and its main components.
