Introduction to 'C++' Coding Styles
When writing software source code there are many coding styles as the concept covers a lot of aspects (some of them subjective). In general RidgeRun tries to follow the Google C++ Style Guide.
Other good practices
Conditionals
- Keep the constants at the left side of a comparison. This applies to all C++ comparison operators. For example:
if ( NULL == var ) { // ... }
This is to avoid possible bugs like:
if ( var = NULL ) { // ... }
A derived good practice is to use const
keyword as much as you can:
const int val = 1; if (val = 2) { // This should not compile ... }
