Greetings,
So, what sort of coding conventions do people want to adopt? I'm not really a C++ coder so I wont offer up too many suggestions, but I do intend on doing what I can to 'help' developers follow the decided upon conventions by creating Emacs and Vim modelines for the source files...unless someone has a good argument against doing that.
At any rate, the only thing that I think is important is 'no tabs'...anyone care to suggest/discuss/argue-without-starting-a-war other conventions (this would include filename schemes for C++ as mentioned in the booleans thread)?

Jon Cruz started a page in Wiki to capture coding conventions, and Mental and Peter have been working on it as well. If you care about such matters please get involved at this point. Within the coming few weeks we expect to have this finalized and formalized.

Here are the Gnu standards. I don't believe in following any standard letter-for-letter (I like 'Whitesmith' style), but this is an excellent document for outlining general practices. Although it is for C, I have used this at our shop for C++ and Java:

By the way, I put Saturday's CVS Win32 build at:
