Recommended C++ and Java Coding Standards?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-is-your-code-structured dept.

Gerard J. Pinzone queries: "My company is looking to implement C/C++ and Java coding standards. However, I can't seem to find a definitive list. I'm more familiar with Java and have suggested that we use 'Elements of Java Style' and Sun's documentation. BTW, beware of 'Netscape's Software Coding Standards Guide for Java.' It's woefully out-of-date! Any suggestions?"

    No, please don't use Hungarian notation. In particular, please don't use Microsoft's bastardized version of Hungarian. Hungarian was invented for use with untyped and weakly typed languages (think assembler). See The Great Hungarian Prefix Swindle [www.keysound.org] for a well-though-out essay on the topic.
