Contributing

Your contributions are highly appreciated. Please create a pull request on GitHub. Bigger changes need to be discussed with the development team via the issues section at github first.

Code style and formatting

Before creating a pull request, it is recommended to run the following command:

make format

This reformats the new code to ensure that it follows the code style and formatting guidelines.

Static code analysis with the Clang Static Analyzer

If you want to use the Clang Static Analyzer (http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/) to do a static code analysis, you can do so by prefixing the configuration and build commands with scan-build:

scan-build cmake ..
scan-build make

The tool will provide a hint on how to launch a web browser with the results.

It is recommended to do this analysis in a separate, empty build directory and to empty the build directory before scan-build call.
