Code style
CrazyPython opened this issue · 10 comments
Let's establish what code style we should use.
Coming from a Python background, I prefer K&R braces. From the little C++ code I've seen @casperdcl write, it looks as though he does too.
So what do you guys think?

BTW I would just use http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html which is like flake8 but fixes rather than just suggesting.
Google's style guide is universally recognized as terrible among C++ programmers ...
@o11c what should we use then? I like K&R braces coming from Python. It saves lines too.
@casperdcl poke poke
Saving lines is an insignificant measurement. Being able to properly keep diffs through history is very important.
@o11c Okay, but it increases code bulk
visual studio supports clang-format with -style=Google, and obviously so do all unix operating systems. I'd set your editors to use it and forget about it. We could spend ages arguing about double space versus 4 space versus tab, but imho it's not worth it.
@casperdcl he was talking about diffs
@casperdcl @o11c says Google's coding style is universally agreed upon by C++ programmers to be a bad style. I'm not sure how true that statement is, but I think we should have another look at this issue.
