Raw Normal View History

- all indentation is tabs (set to 8 char) with the exception of
continuation lines that are alligned with tabs and then spaces
- all keywords followed by a '(' have a space in between
if (condition)
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
- function calls do NOT have a space between their name and argument
i = some_function(argument);
- usually there is no space on the inside of parenthesis (see examples
above)
- function / method implementations have their opening curly braces in
column 1
- all other opening curly braces follow at the end of the line, with a
space separating them:
if (condition) {
dosomething();
}
- both sides of an if / else clause either use or do not use curly braces:
if (condition)
i = 4;
else
j = 6;
if (condition) {
i = 6;
} else {
i = 4;
j = 6;
}
- use space to make visual separation easier
a = b + 3 + e / 4;
- continuation lines have the operator / comma at the end
if (very_long_conditiont_1 ||
condition_2)
b = a + (c + d +
f + z);
- unfortunate inconsistency:
-- C code usually uses underscores to structure names
variable_in_C
-- C++ code usually uses camelCase
variableInCPlusPlus
where the two meet, use your best judgment and go for best consistency
(i.e., where does the variable "originate")
- switch statements with blocks are a little bit special (to avoid indenting
too far)
switch (foo) {
case FIRST:
whatever();
break;
case SECOND: {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
do_something(i);
}
}
