C++ coding styles

Unlike Java or C#, the C++ world does not have a unified coding standard. The naming convention is still the choice of programmer teams or enterprises.

However, there are several standards widely used in the software industry.

• C++ standard library related code conventions
  • GCC Coding Conventions
  • ISO C++ coding standards
  • Microsoft standard C++ library
  • Boost library requirements and guidelines
• Google C++ style guide
• Lockheed Martin Corporation C++ coding standards (Joint strike fighter project, 2005)
• University of Michigan, EECS (Engineering Electrical and Computer Science) C++ coding standards
• Microsoft Win32 C++ coding style conventions
• High Integrity C++ Coding Standard
• QT framework: C++ coding conventions
• The book "C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices" of Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu
