Coding Guidelines

These are general rules for development in the system. As of 2018, we do not follow all of these exactly. These are more aspirations.

1. The TransactionContext object should always be the first argument to any function that takes it.

   Good Example

   ResultType CreateDatabase(concurrency::TransactionContext *txn,
                             const std::string &database_name);

   Bad Example

   ResultType CreateDatabase(const std::string &database_name,
                             concurrency::TransactionContext *txn);
