# mediocre-go-lib
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of packages which I use across many of my personal
|
|
projects. All packages intended to be used start with an `m`, packages not
|
|
starting with `m` are for internal use within this set of packages.
|
|
|
|
## Usage notes
|
|
|
|
* In general, all checking of equality of errors, e.g. `err == io.EOF`, done on
|
|
errors returned from the packages in this project should be done using
|
|
`merr.Equal`, e.g. `merr.Equal(err, io.EOF)`. The `merr` package is used to
|
|
wrap errors and embed further metadata in them, like stack traces and so
|
|
forth.
|
|
|
|
## Styleguide
|
|
|
|
Here are general guidelines I use when making decisions about how code in this
|
|
repo should be written. Most of the guidelines I have come up with myself have
|
|
to do with package design, since packages are the only thing which have any
|
|
rigidity and therefore need any rigid rules.
|
|
|
|
Everything here are guidelines, not actual rules.

|
|
|
|
* When deciding if a package should initialize a struct as a value or pointer, a
|
|
good rule is: If it's used as an immutable value it should be a value,
|
|
otherwise it's a pointer. Even if the immutable value implementation has
|
|
internal caching, locks, etc..., that can be hidden as pointers inside the
|
|
struct, but the struct itself can remain a value type.
