Notes on the C-to-C++ Conversion
-
libtransmission was written in C for fifteen years, so eliminating all Cisms is nearly impossible. Modernization patches are welcomed but it won't all happen overnight.
tr_strdup()
andconstexpr
wil exist side-by-side in the codebase for the forseeable future. -
It's so tempting to refactor all the things! Please keep modernization patches reasonably focused so that they will be easy to review.
-
Prefer
std::
tools over bespoke ones. For example, usestd::vector
instead of tr_ptrArray. Redundant bespoke code should be removed. -
Consider ripple effects before adding C++ into public headers. Will it break C code that #includes that header?
