- 8ch indent, no tabs
- structs in MixedCase, variables, functions in lower_case
- the destructors always unregister the object from the next bigger
object, not the other way around

- for robustness reasons destructors should be able to destruct
half-initialized objects, too

- error codes are returned as negative Exxx. i.e. return -EINVAL. There

- Do not issue NSS requests (that includes user name and host name
lookups) from the main daemon as this might trigger deadlocks when

- Do not access any directories outside of /etc, /dev, /lib from the
init daemon to avoid deadlocks with the automounter
2010-02-14 22:44:51 +01:00
- Don't synchronously talk to any other service, due to risk of
deadlocks
