C++ Coding Standards (C++ Core Guidelines)

Comprehensive coding standards for modern C++ (C++17/20/23) derived from the C++ Core Guidelines. Enforces type safety, resource safety, immutability, and clarity.

When to Use

  • Writing new C++ code (classes, functions, templates)
  • Reviewing or refactoring existing C++ code
  • Making architectural decisions in C++ projects
  • Enforcing consistent style across a C++ codebase
  • Choosing between language features (e.g., enum vs enum class, raw pointer vs smart pointer)

When NOT to Use

  • Non-C++ projects
  • Legacy C codebases that cannot adopt modern C++ features
  • Embedded/bare-metal contexts where specific guidelines conflict with hardware constraints (adapt selectively)
