Another suggestion I have is to use the variable and method naming
convention that java uses. I like the way it looks and I think
camel case is more readable than snake case.
This reminds me of something not yet in the outline. The originating
author should place, in comments, near the top, his or her syntax
conventions including naming conventions, brace placements if not
Python, spaces or tabs.
I'm hidiously guilty of using violating my own conventions (or not
having any), so I should make that document at the start of a
project. Matter of fact, I should make it BEFORE my next project.
Naturally, one such stylesheet must be made for Python, another for
C, etc.
In an ideal world, here's how I'd do C blocks:
if(mybool)
{
do_my_stuff()
}
I tend to use
if(mybool)
{ do_my_stuff();
do_other_stuff);
}
I really believe matching braces should be on the same line, or,
failing that, at the same level of indentation; i.e., above one
another.
And I'd like the compile to warn me of deviations from that.

However, I do it the way Vim preformats for me, to make my life
easier:
if(mybool){
do_my_stuff()
}
#ifndef AUTHOR
char * AUTHOR = "SteveT"
#endif

Just use indent(1) and forget about all stying problems? I prefer
`indent -kr`, none of that GNU styling craziness!!
https://manpages.debian.org/buster/indent/indent.1.en.html
I just spent 2 hours trying out indent. As far as I can tell, -bli
doesn't work, and I could find no way to put statements in block at the
same level with the block's parentheses. So what I want is this:
int myfunc()
{
do_something();
do_more();
if(mybool)
{
do_special()
}
}
If you know a way to accomplish the preceding with indent, please let
me know. Closest I could get was
int myfunc()
{
do_something();
do_more();
if(mybool)
{
do_special()
}
}
Eeeeuuuuu, ugly, confusing, and inconsistent. I'd rather just keep
doing it Vim's way:
int myfunc(){
do_something();
do_more();
if(mybool){
do_special()
}
}
The preceding is at least consistent, and the ending brace is at the
level of the statement running the block, which at least is fathomable
if you get used to it.

It looks like you are trying to get what was once called the Whitesmiths
style.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style#Whitesmiths_style
Back when the earth was still cooling, 1991 or so, I worked at Motorola
in Chicago and this was the preferred coding style for the project I was
a member of. Configuring indent was always a matter of trail and error
and the docs could be better. Using a config file, ~/.indent.pro made
things easier. I might still have a copy of that file somewhere, I'll look.
