.SS "Compatibility"
(only in PRs)
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBSymbol versioning\fP is correct for breaking changes
.IP "\(bu" 2
ABI/API changes are forward-compatible (breaking backwards-compatibility to add additional symbols is fine)
.PP
.SS "Parameter & Return Types"
.IP "\(bu" 2
Function parameters should use enum types instead of boolean types wherever sensible
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Wherever possible, function parameters should be \fCconst\fP
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Wherever possible, return types should be \fCconst\fP
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Functions should have the least amount of parameters feasible
.PP
.SS "Structural Clarity"
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Functions should do exactly one thing
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Function name has the appropriate prefix
.IP "\(bu" 2
[ ] Order of signatures in kdb\&.h\&.in is the same as Doxygen 
.br
.IP "  \(bu" 4

.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] No functions with similar purpose exist
.PP
.SS "Memory Management"
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Memory Management should be handled by the function wherever possible
.PP
.SS "Extensibility"
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Function is easily extensible, e\&.g\&., with flags
.IP "\(bu" 2
[x] Documentation does not impose limits, that would hinder further extensions
.PP
.SS "Tests"
.IP "\(bu" 2
[ ] Function code is fully covered by tests 
.br
.IP "  \(bu" 4
[ ] return value is never checked
.PP

.IP "\(bu" 2
[ ] All possible error states are covered by tests 
.br
.IP "  \(bu" 4
