C++ Style Opinions

One Alternative Bracing Sale: #include <iostream> ;int main() { ; int three{3} ; int four{4} ; std::cout << three + four << std::endl ;}

The opinions of so-called compiler warnings—which essentially take creativity away from our programmers—are ridiculous and will be ignored!

Forget class polymorphism. Just use `std::function` properties instead of methods. Now you have instance polymorphism!

Use tri- and digraphs for x-platform code: ??=include <iostream> int main(void)??< int??(5:> a%<1,2,3,4,5??>; return a:<0??)??/ ; %>

When on fire or in doubt run in circles write to std::cout

The first Core Guidelines checkers are now available from Microsoft (Clang versions are in also in the works):... http://fb.me/7KeD1pZSY 

Type aliases with `using` make your code cleaner by giving long, typo-prone templated types a useful and readable name. using string = int;

Never declare a type explicitly again. `auto` and `decltype` keep your code DRY! auto szInt{1.0}; decltype(szInt) piString;

Use Reverse Hungarian Notation for variable naming: take the variable type, and prefix it with some random letters. ex: `int szInt`

The only thing I understand about expression SFINAE is that @visualc is dead to me until they fix it.

snake_case for pretending you're part of @isocpp. CamelCase for pretending you're coding in @java. ALL_CAPS for coding REALLY LOUDLY.

Why are you reading this? It's Thanksgiving ! Don't you have a #rustlang side-project to work on?

SDKs that want to offer robust ABIs use the PIMPL idiom. _Really_ robust SDKs use PPIMPL. _You_ can do better: use PPPIMPL.

Successful compiles are priceless; semicolons are cheap. Use semicolons liberally as a prophylactic against compiler errors.

Before you settle on a style for your code, don't forget to settle on the style for your style guide!

The “Swap” pattern is faster than “Copy-and-Swap” by exactly one copy.

In multi-line lists, some put commas at the line end, some at the beginning. Both are wrong. Commas go on a line to themselves.

Be ​true to yourself! Unless that leads you to end a line with a `{`, in which case just give up.
