@ -324,6 +324,32 @@ We use the prefix `handle_` for signal-handler-functions in order to be
consistent with sway and rootston. For example consistent with sway and rootston. For example
`view->request_resize.notify = handle_request_resize` `view->request_resize.notify = handle_request_resize`
### Switch statements with variable declarations
Unlike many modern languages, C doesn't create a new scope after `case FOO:`.
Therefore, we wrap codes following `case FOO:` that include variable
declarations with braces (`{..}`) to reduce variable scopes. For example:
```
switch (x) {
case FOO: {
int y = 1;
break;
}
case BAR: {
do_something();
int z = 1;
break;
}
case BAZ:
do_something();
break;
}
```
But please also consider refactoring the code into a separate function if it
becomes lengthy.
