oneAPI code samples are designed to be introductory in nature to aid in the understanding and education of developers in regards to oneAPI concepts.

• readme.md file is required [Example(https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneAPI-samples/blob/development/DirectProgramming/DPC%2B%2B/CombinationalLogic/mandelbrot/README.md) Template
• Build Tools
  • Linux- Must utilize cmake 3.4, unless the sample is going to be also used for Mac then use make
  • Mac- Use make
  • Windows - Visual Studio 2017
• Compilers for dpcpp
  • Linux/Mac- dpcpp
  • Windows- dpcpp-cl
• sample.json file is required, which defines automated testing and enables the sample browser
  • Specifications
  • Categories
  • CI Test Object
• Sample must successfully exit with a return code
  • Fail: exit code with !=0
    • message to stdout beginning with the word “fail”
  • Success: exit code with 0
    • message to stdout beginning with the word “success"
• Samples with cli inputs must have basic validation, example:
  • File size > 0
  • File present
  • XML/YML has basic schema validation if possible
• CMakeLists.txt
  • If enforcing “(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD)” then it must be “set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)” as starting in 2021.3 Gaurd rails were established that may interfere with older versions

The following items need to be performed prior to a PR being put in place

• License.txt file is required as all samples should be MIT, use this license file
• third-party-programs.txt (TPP) file is required if you are using any third-party dependencies, use this TPP license file
  • Note: if the third-party dependency is for something not already covered, this file needs to be updated before you add it to your project
• Approval by oneAPI Samples Committee
• OSPDT Approval (see Program Manager for assistance)
• Compile using the following compiler flags and fix any warnings, the flags are: "-Wall -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security"
• Protex (see Program Manager for assistance)
• Bandit Scans (Python only)
• IPLDT Scan (see Program Manager for assistance)
• Virus scan
