Michael Park commented on MESOS-2705:
-------------------------------------
Looked into this a little bit, and I'm shocked at how inconsistent this style
is at least in the places I looked.
The [latest draft of the
standard|http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2015/n4431.pdf] has
1545 occurrences of {{template<}} and 2252 occurrences of {{template <}}.
The LLVM codebase has 785 occurrences of {{template<}} and 2573 occurrences of
{{template <}}.
The Clang codebase has 9120 occurrences of {{template<}} and 4541 occurrences
of {{template <}}.
In Mesos, we've got 19 occurrences of {{template<}} and 738 occurrences of
{{template <}}.
So I'm not sure that "most code omits this space" is true, it seems to me like
most codebases don't actually care. Having said that, I think arguments can be
made in favor of either side. I would say let's go with what {{clang-format}}
does, which is {{template <}}.

> The general rule to format templates is to declare them as:
> {code}
> template <typename T> // notice the space between template and <
> class Foo {
> …
> };
> {code}
> However, the style is not documented anywhere nor it is inherited from the
> Google style guide.
