C++ Style Guide

Disclaimer

There is no "official" C++ style guide. This one is my C++ style, that's all.

File extensions

• Source files: .cpp
• Header files: .hpp

File names

Snake case with name of the class if any.

Naming

Case styles

• Camel case: camelCase
• Pascal case: PascalCase
• Snake case: snake_case
• Kebab case: kebab-case

Namespaces

Snake case, with preference to single words.

namespace communication
{
	[...]
}

Enums

Pascal case for the enum name and upper case with underscores for the values.

enum class Dummy
{
  VALUE_X,
  VALUE_Y
};

Classes

Pascal case. Filename has to match the class name.

class Logger
{
    [...]
};

Private variables

Snake case with a m_ prefix to distinguish it from public data

private:
  int m_data;

Member functions

Camel case.

class PrivateSize
{
  public:
    int width() const;
    int getData() const;
};

Other variables

All other names use snake case
