Contributing a pull request

Code style

Here are some general rules to follow when writing Ruby and C code for CRuby:

  • Do not change code unrelated to your pull request (including style fixes)
  • Indent 4 spaces for C without tabs (tabs are two levels of indentation, equivalent to 8 spaces)
  • Indent 2 spaces for Ruby without tabs
  • ANSI C style for function declarations
  • Follow C99 Standard
  • PascalStyle for class/module names
  • UNDERSCORE_SEPARATED_UPPER_CASE for other constants
  • Abbreviations should be all upper case

Commit messages

Use the following style for commit messages:

  • Use a succinct subject line
  • Include reasoning behind the change in the commit message, focusing on why the change is being made
  • Refer to issue (such as Fixes [Bug #1234] or Implements [Feature #3456]), or discussion on the mailing list (such as [ruby-core:12345])

CI

GitHub actions will run on each pull request.

There is a CI that runs on master. It has broad coverage of different systems and architectures, such as Solaris SPARC and macOS.
