I am pretty sure that there are coding guidelines and conventions that we should be following but have not followed over the course of the last few years, and we will have to go through the process of preparing the sources so that they are suitable for pushing back to the LLVM and CLang community, though I expect that as a small team of 2 developers this is likely to take us several months.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif'>Are there any existing documents that I should read to help us prepare our code so that it might be acceptable to the LLVM (and CLang) communities?
