Known Issues
------------
* RecordIO format is not portable across different processor endians. So it is not possible to save RecordIO file on a x86 machine and then load it on a SPARC machine, because x86 is little endian while SPARC is big endian.


Contributing
------------

Contributing to dmlc-core is welcomed! dmlc-core follows google's C style guide. If you are interested in contributing, take a look at [feature wishlist](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core/labels/feature%20wishlist) and open a new issue if you like to add something.

* Use of c++11 is allowed, given that the code is macro guarded with ```DMLC_USE_CXX11```
* Try to introduce minimum dependency when possible

### CheckList before submit code
* Type ```make lint``` and fix all the style problems.
* Type ```make doc``` and fix all the warnings.
