# Pull requests (for contributors)
|
|
|
|
- Test your changes:
|
|
- Execute [the full CI locally on your machine](ci/README.md) before publishing
|
|
- Verify that the perplexity and the performance are not affected negatively by your changes (use `llama-perplexity` and `llama-bench`)
|
|
- If you modified the `ggml` source, run the `test-backend-ops` tool to check whether different backend implementations of the `ggml` operators produce consistent results (this requires access to at least two different `ggml` backends)
|
|
- If you modified a `ggml` operator or added a new one, add the corresponding test cases to `test-backend-ops`
|
|
- Consider allowing write access to your branch for faster reviews, as reviewers can push commits directly
|
|
- If your PR becomes stale, don't hesitate to ping the maintainers in the comments
|
|

# Pull requests (for collaborators)
|
|
|
|
- Squash-merge PRs
|
|
- Use the following format for the squashed commit title: `<module> : <commit title> (#<issue_number>)`. For example: `utils : fix typo in utils.py (#1234)`
|
|
- Optionally pick a `<module>` from here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/wiki/Modules
|
|
- Consider adding yourself to [CODEOWNERS](CODEOWNERS)
|
|
|
|
# Coding guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Avoid adding third-party dependencies, extra files, extra headers, etc.
|
|
- Always consider cross-compatibility with other operating systems and architectures
|
|
- Avoid fancy-looking modern STL constructs, use basic `for` loops, avoid templates, keep it simple
|
|
- Vertical alignment makes things more readable and easier to batch edit
|
|
- Clean-up any trailing whitespaces, use 4 spaces for indentation, brackets on the same line, `void * ptr`, `int & a`
|
|
- Use sized integer types such as `int32_t` in the public API, e.g. `size_t` may also be appropriate for allocation sizes or byte offsets
|
|
- Declare structs with `struct foo {}` instead of `typedef struct foo {} foo`
|
|
- In C++ code omit optional `struct` and `enum` keyword whenever they are not necessary
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// OK
|
|
llama_context * ctx;
|
|
const llama_rope_type rope_type;
|
|
|
|
// not OK
|
|
struct llama_context * ctx;
|
|
const enum llama_rope_type rope_type;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_(NOTE: this guideline is yet to be applied to the `llama.cpp` codebase. New code should follow this guideline.)_
|
|
|
|
- Try to follow the existing patterns in the code (indentation, spaces, etc.). In case of doubt use `clang-format` to format the added code
|
|
- For anything not covered in the current guidelines, refer to the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines)
|
|
- Tensors store data in row-major order. We refer to dimension 0 as columns, 1 as rows, 2 as matrices
|
|
- Matrix multiplication is unconventional: [`C = ggml_mul_mat(ctx, A, B)`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/880e352277fc017df4d5794f0c21c44e1eae2b84/ggml.h#L1058-L1064) means $C^T = A B^T \Leftrightarrow C = B A^T.$

# Naming guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Use `snake_case` for function, variable and type names
|
|
- Naming usually optimizes for longest common prefix (see https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml/pull/302#discussion_r1243240963)
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// not OK
|
|
int small_number;
|
|
int big_number;
|
|
|
|
// OK
|
|
int number_small;
|
|
int number_big;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Enum values are always in upper case and prefixed with the enum name
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
enum llama_vocab_type {
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_NONE = 0,
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_SPM = 1,
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_BPE = 2,
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_WPM = 3,
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_UGM = 4,
|
|
LLAMA_VOCAB_TYPE_RWKV = 5,
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- The general naming pattern is `<class>_<method>`, with `<method>` being `<action>_<noun>`
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
llama_model_init(); // class: "llama_model", method: "init"
|
|
llama_sampler_chain_remove(); // class: "llama_sampler_chain", method: "remove"
|
|
llama_sampler_get_seed(); // class: "llama_sampler", method: "get_seed"
|
|
llama_set_embeddings(); // class: "llama_context", method: "set_embeddings"
|
|
llama_n_threads(); // class: "llama_context", method: "n_threads"
|
|
llama_adapter_lora_free(); // class: "llama_adapter_lora", method: "free"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- The `get` `<action>` can be omitted
|
|
- The `<noun>` can be omitted if not necessary
|
|
- The `_context` suffix of the `<class>` is optional. Use it to disambiguate symbols when needed
|
|
- Use `init`/`free` for constructor/destructor `<action>`
|
|
|
|
- Use the `_t` suffix when a type is supposed to be opaque to the user - it's not relevant to them if it is a struct or anything else
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
typedef struct llama_context * llama_context_t;
|
|
|
|
enum llama_pooling_type llama_pooling_type(const llama_context_t ctx);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_(NOTE: this guideline is yet to be applied to the `llama.cpp` codebase. New code should follow this guideline)_
|
|
|
|
- C/C++ filenames are all lowercase with dashes. Headers use the `.h` extension. Source files use the `.c` or `.cpp` extension
|
|
- Python filenames are all lowercase with underscores
|
|
|
|
- _(TODO: abbreviations usage)_
|
|
|
|
# Preprocessor directives
|
|
|
|
- (TODO: add guidelines with examples and apply them to the codebase)
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#ifdef FOO
|
|
#endif // FOO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Documentation
|
|
|
|
- Documentation is a community effort
|
|
- When you need to look into the source code to figure out how to use an API consider adding a short summary to the header file for future reference
|
|
- When you notice incorrect or outdated documentation, please update it
|
