Contribute

Want to contribute?? You can checkout the official github repository for Beast at https://github.com/GauravDawra/Beast. Beast is primarily written in C++ for speed and optimizations. It is advised to contact me before making a pull request. We can disucuss any bugs reports, new features, optimizations and much more!!!

Beast Structure

Beast follows a layered structure. As you can see in the src/ folder in the repository, there are several directories. These directories contain seperate components, or layers, of the project. Each component is supposed to carry out a specific functionality.

For example, the Parser parses the beast build file, Logger logs your output to your console and handles errors, and so on...

For more information on these layers, you can drop a mail at beast-build@googlegroups.com or contact me directly at gaurav19039@iiitd.ac.in.

Important points

Some points to take care:

1. Make sure the main source code is inside the src/ directory and all code is well-organised.
2. Naming conventions should be followed and all identifier/function/namespace etc names should make sense.
3. There are different layers inside the src/ folder (arranged in different directories), that specify distinct types of operations and processes involved in the build procedure. Such structure should be followed.
4. Avoid using the using namespace syntax. Prefix the particular namespace whenever required.
