Guidelines and Template files

Emacs Developers Notes

Developers using (x)emacs can use the templates (placed in the template folder) for newly created files in LifeV, with extension support for C++ headers/implementation, m4, README, automake Makefiles, autotest, and doxygen.

LifeV Development Guidelines

This short guide provides some useful rules to improve the development of LifeV Library. Following the example of Trilinos and other well structured libraries, we have understood that it is mandatory to follow some common rules in the implementation of our code. A better organization of classes and files, together with the development of a complete and exaustive documentation, will help old and new developers to take advantage of all the available features of our library, improving productivity and results.
