Coding Guidelines

Coding guidelines have been established to facilitate the development of the ORCHIDEE code. All developers should follow thes guide lines when improving or adding new features to the code. Moreover, any new suggestions to these coding guide lines, in order to improve the readability, the efficiency and the robustness of the code are welcome. You can make these suggestions to the ORCHIDEE project group. See coding_guidelines.pdf​ and coding_guidelines.doc​
