## Contributing to the Guidelines Support Library
|
|
|
|
The Guidelines Support Library (GSL) contains functions and types that are suggested for use by the
|
|
[C++ Core Guidelines](https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines). GSL design changes are made only as a result of modifications to the Guidelines.
|
|
|
|
GSL is accepting contributions that improve or refine any of the types in this library as well as ports to other platforms. Changes should have an issue
|
|
tracking the suggestion that has been approved by the maintainers. Your pull request should include a link to the bug that you are fixing. If you've submitted
|
|
a PR, please post a comment in the associated issue to avoid duplication of effort.
|
|
|
|
## Legal
|
|
You will need to complete a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). Briefly, this agreement testifies that you are granting us and the community permission to
|
|
use the submitted change according to the terms of the project's license, and that the work being submitted is under appropriate copyright.
|

|
## Housekeeping
|
|
Your pull request should:
|
|
|
|
* Include a description of what your change intends to do
|
|
* Be a child commit of a reasonably recent commit in the **main** branch
|
|
* Requests need not be a single commit, but should be a linear sequence of commits (i.e. no merge commits in your PR)
|
|
* It is desirable, but not necessary, for the tests to pass at each commit. Please see [README.md](./README.md) for instructions to build the test suite.
|
|
* Have clear commit messages
|
|
* e.g. "Fix issue", "Add tests for type", etc.
|
|
* Include appropriate tests
|
|
* Tests should include reasonable permutations of the target fix/change
|
|
* Include baseline changes with your change
|
|
* All changed code must have 100% code coverage
|
|
* To avoid line ending issues, set `autocrlf = input` and `whitespace = cr-at-eol` in your git configuration
