For the Programmer

• When you are within a week of submitting code, send the cop email briefly explaining the purpose of your class, and when it will arrive. This lead time will allow the cop to begin the search for a suitable reviewer.

• If your class is called, for example ``NewClass'', then you need to submit the following files:

  1.

  NewClass.h: the class header

  2.

  NewClass.cc: the class implementation

  3.

  tNewClass.cc⁴: a test program - see section devoted to this topic below

  4.

  dNewClass.cc (optional): a short, heavily commented and well-focused program demonstrating how to use NewClass.

• Your code (header, source, test, and demo programs) should be combined into a standard unix ``shar'' file and emailed to aips2-cop@nrao.edu⁵. This shar file should preserve the directory structure needed to build the code once it is unshar'd.
• The cop will pass the shar file onto the reviewer, and tell you who the reviewer is.
• All subsequent email exchange between you and the reviewer should be CC'd to the cop.
• If you have test coverage and memory leak statistics (strongly recommended for all programmers who have access to the right tools) please send them to the cop in a separate email message.
