Introduction to 'C++' Coding Styles

There are many coding styles as the concept covers a lot of aspects when writing software source code. In general RidgeRun tries to follow the Google C++ Style Guide.

Other good practices

Conditionals

• Keep the constants at the left side of a comparison. This applies to all C++ comparison operators. For example:

if ( NULL == var ) {
  // ...
}

This is to avoid possible bugs like:

if ( var = NULL ) {
  // ...
}
