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 It's woefully out-of-date!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?"

    For the love of Dijkstra please don't use Hungarian style. There's a lovely common style in linux/Documentation/CodingStyle Which references (and bashes) the GNU Coding Standards. Either one of those could be a good starting point, once you resolve the fights you'll get into over style.
