Citra is a brand new project, so we have a great opportunity to keep things clean and well organized early on. As such, coding style is very important when making commits. They aren't very strict rules since we want to be flexible and we understand that under certain circumstances some of them can be counterproductive. Just try to follow as many of them as possible:
### General Rules
* A lot of code was taken from other projects (e.g. Dolphin, PPSSPP, Gekko, SkyEye). In general, when editing other people's code, follow the style of the module you're in (or better yet, fix the style if it drastically differs from our guide).
* Line width is typically 100 characters, but this isn't strictly enforced. Please do not use 80-characters.
* Don't ever introduce new external dependencies into Core
* For regular comments, use C++ style (`//`) comments, even for multi-line ones.
* For doc-comments (Doxygen comments), use `/// ` if it's a single line, else use the `/**``*/` style featured in the example. Start the text on the second line, not the first containing `/**`.
* For items that are both defined and declared in two separate files, put the doc-comment only next to the associated declaration. (In a header file, usually.) Otherwise, put it next to the implementation. Never duplicate doc-comments in both places.
