A core strength of Genann is that it is small and simple. This makes it easy
to add new features. However, if we keep adding new features, it'll no longer
be small or simple. In other words, each new feature corrodes away at the core
strength of Genann.

For that reason, feature requests will generally be closed. This isn't a
judgment on the idea. Genann is essentially finished, and it is small enough
that if you need it to do something else, you can fork it and make it do that.

Bugs are a different matter. Bug reports and bug fixes are always welcome and
appreciated.


OPEN AN ISSUE FIRST

Please open an issue before you start work on a pull request. Go to
https://github.com/codeplea/genann and describe what you're proposing, and
we'll discuss it there. A pull request that shows up with no prior discussion
will usually be closed, however good the code is. I'd rather tell you no
before you spend your evening on it than after.


BUG REPORTS

Every bug report must include a minimal but complete example that reproduces
the problem. That means C code, like this:

    #include "genann.h"
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        genann *ann = genann_init(2, 1, 3, 2);
        double input[2] = {0.0, 1.0};
        double const *output = genann_run(ann, input);
        printf("output %f\n", output[0]);
        /* prints nan, expected a number between 0 and 1 */
        genann_free(ann);
        return 0;
    }

Minimal means you've cut everything that isn't needed to show the bug.
Complete means I can compile and run it exactly as written, against an
unmodified Genann, with nothing left out. Say what you expected and what you
got instead.

Do not send fuzzer harnesses, sanitizer wrappers, binary crash files, driver
scripts, or hex dumps of some input format only your tooling understands. I
don't care about your fuzzer or how you found the bug. I only care about the
bug itself. If reproducing your report means reconstructing your test setup
first, it will be closed. Reducing a crash to plain C is the reporter's job,
not mine.
