When creating a library for a simple program, what must I do to protect others from its lack of thread safety?
When creating a library for a simple program, is it more cost effective to make it thread safe or is there a way to detect the program’s use in a multithreaded program and ASSERT() or otherwise determine (preferably at compile or link time) that it may create problems.
Is a coding standard even needed any more?
I know that it’s been proven that a coding standard helps enormously. However, there are many different tools and IDEs that will format to whatever standard the programmer prefers. So long as the code’s neat/commented (and not a spaghetti mess), I don’t see the need for a coding standard.
Should coding standards be enforced by the continuous integration server?
Should coding standards/style be enforced by the continuous integration server running static analysis tools (ex. PMD, StyleCop/FxCop) and failing the build if the standards are not followed? What types of rules should not be used to fail the build?
What is the standard for describing functions and objects?
What is the standard for describing functions/methods (function name, number of arguments, argument type, return type, etc…) in a manner that is language independent?
