|
|
- 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);
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
