when it comes to describing your changes and their motivation. In addition to

this, your pull request's comments will ideally include a test plan that the

reviewers can use to (1) demonstrate the problem on master, if applicable and

(2) verify that the problem no longer exists with your changes applied (or that

your new features work correctly). Document all of the edge cases you're aware

of so we can adequately test them - then verify the test plan yourself before

submitting.

## Coding Style

## Code Review
|
||||
|
||||
When your changes are submitted for review, one or more core committers will
|
||||
look over them. Smaller changes might be merged with little fanfare, but larger
|
||||
changes will typically see review from several people. Be prepared to receive
|
||||
some feedback - you may be asked to make changes to your work. Our code review
|
||||
process is:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Triage** the pull request. Do the commit messages make sense? Is a test
|
||||
plan necessary and/or present? Add anyone as reviewers that you think should
|
||||
be there (using the relevant GitHub feature, if you have the permissions, or
|
||||
with an @mention if necessary).
|
||||
2. **Review** the code. Look for code style violations, naming convention
|
||||
violations, buffer overflows, memory leaks, logic errors, non-portable code
|
||||
(including GNU-isms), etc. For significant changes to the public API, loop in
|
||||
a couple more people for discussion.
|
||||
3. **Execute** the test plan, if present.
|
||||
4. **Merge** the pull request when all reviewers approve.
|
||||
5. **File** follow-up tickets if appropriate.
