There are a few syntactical Mesos style guidelines that I would like to propose to drop. They are:
1. Open braces for namespace should not be wrapped. *NOTE*: The Google style guide does not wrap the brace after *namespace*, and the Mesos style guide does not mention a rule at all. But it is consistent throughout the codebase. 2. Overloaded operators should be padded with spaces. 3. Comments should be wrapped at 70 characters. The main motivation is that as a community we would like to reduce the discrepancy between what *clang-format* produces. This is a dual effort, as we work on improving *clang-format* to support some of our style which is popular in the C++ community as well. Wrapping the function arguments to avoid "jaggedness" for example is a feature request which is being tracked at: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23422 Going forward, the proposal is to update all of the instances of (1) and (2) at once. For (3), we can simply relax the constraint from 70 to 80 without touching the existing comments. Does anyone have any strong opinions about dropping any of the 3 rules above? Thanks, MPark.
