Developer notes
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
These notes are meant to help developers and contributors with regards to some
|
|
details of the implementation and coding style of the project.
|
|
|
|
C++ codebase
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The C++ codebase currently targets C++11 compliance. It is header-only since
|
|
one of the focus of the library is speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python bindings
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Python bindings targets Python 3.7 and above. The bindings are hand-written and
|
|
relies on cppy (https://github.com/nucleic/cppy). Kiwisolver tries to use a
|
|
reasonably modern C API and to support sub-interpreter, this has a couple of
|
|
consequences:
|
|
|
|
- all the non exported symbol are enclosed in anonymous namespaces
|
|
- kiwisolver does not use static types and only dynamical types (note that the
|
|
type slots and related structures are stored in a static variable)
|
|
- modules use the multi-phases initialization mechanism as defined in
|
|
PEP 489 -- Multi-phase extension module initialization
|
|
- static variables use is limited to type slots, method def
