[libvirt PATCH 04/10] docs: Add programming-languages.rst

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Most new contributors are probably going to modify existing code rather
than introducing all-new programs and scripts, and even when the latter
happen they'll hopefully get a feel for which programming languages are
considered acceptable for the project by looking at what's already in
the repo. Make this part less prominent by moving it to a separate page.

-Language Usage
-==============
-
-The libvirt repository makes use of a large number of programming
-languages. It is anticipated that in the future libvirt will adopt
-use of other new languages. To reduce the overall burden on
-developers, there is thus a general desire to phase out usage of
-some of the existing languages.
-
-The preferred languages at this time are:
-
--  C - for the main libvirt codebase. Dialect supported by
-   GCC/CLang only.
--  Python - for supporting build scripts / tools. Code must run
-   with both version 2.7 and 3.x at this time.
-
-Languages that should not be used for any new contributions:
-
--  Perl - build scripts must be written in Python instead.
--  Shell - build scripts must be written in Python instead.
