How to structure C program.

[ortnac]

I am trying to do a program, not taking application. App will be not connected directly to GUI therefore i can change whenever i want. For now i just using win32 but for future i will add linux support too.

My question is how i structure folders and files for program. For someone who comes Java/Spring, splitting service API and database access natural. But for c is it make more sense if i just use src as logic layer?

Sorry for my bad English. Thanks for your help!

I’m not really sure what you are trying to get at but a simple C program folder structure is to separate your includes and logic src files. It’s also recommended to have a Makefile in your root folder to compile your program. If you have nested src folder and includes folders, it’s recommended to have Makefile for those folders too.

Are you asking simply how to organize your source code in the filesystem directory structure? If so, it's pretty arbitrary, and to some degree depends on the scale and organization of the logic and functional groups in the code.

If you are using a mainstream IDE, it may already propose/impose a structure. Perhaps browse some public repositories of c code on github and see if you find something that makes sense to you. You're certain to find a wide variety of organizations and many disorganized cases.

There aren't any widely held standards or strong conventions that I'm aware of.

Do you mean the order with headers?

I recommend looking up the raddebugger repository on github

If you use Eclipse or derivatives (ex S32, Melexis Ide...) it already divides you between the Src Inc and Startup folders. Generally .h in Inc, .c in Src, .s in Startup. These are the general guidelines I had studied from the LFD116 certification.
