C++ coding style discussion

For those who don’t know where to find it or what it is: http://cocos2d-x.org/projects/cocos2d-x/wiki/Cocos2d_c**_coding_style
This Style Guide seems based on Google’s C** one: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml

As our’s is still work in progress I’d like to add some comments :slight_smile:

  • Variable-Names 99% of the variables of the framework are not OK if we need to follow this. I’d take something on mid terms, like const char* m_exampleVariableName instead of const char *m_pszExampleVariableName. (What does sz means? String Zero?)
  • Class-Format The proposed spacing is going to be a PITA in a lot of IDE’s and editors. Even the web’s code syntax highlight isn’t handling well, check Google’s one to see how it looks like (it looks awful to me :smiley: ). I’d put zero spaces on public:, protected:, private: and 4 spaces on the rest, like Xcode, Visual Studio and Eclipse do.
