-* Variables should be declared before statements. You can use
- gcc's -Wdeclaration-after-statement to warn about this.
+* Variables should be declared (and initialized) as close as practical

+ uninitialized.
+* Variables should be defined within the smallest scope that is practical,

+* Local variables that will not be modified should be marked as ``const``
+ to indicate intention. This allows the compiler to give a warning if
+ part of the code accidentally tries to change the value. This does not
+ apply to by-value parameters where it needlessly exposes the
+ implementation and it's obvious a copy is made anyway.
* Don't let variable names shadow outer variables - use gcc's -Wshadow
option.
* Do not use G_LIKELY or G_UNLIKELY (except in critical loops). These
