C Language Style Guide

2005-01-25 Thread Michael Madden
Is there an accepted standard C language style guide.  I'm starting to develop
and test my applications on FreeBSD, and I want to ensure my code is readable
and maintainable.  I've been able to find specific project's guidelines like
the following, but I can find a general standard.  Does ANSI or POSIX dictate
anything about style or coding standards?

Apache: http://httpd.apache.org/dev/styleguide.html

No.  This is a common topic in comp.lang.c (despite the fact that style
questions are off-topic) but there is no universal, one true style.
You may find a lot of suggestions by browsing the archives of the
newsgroup though.

 I'm starting to develop and test my applications on FreeBSD, and I
 want to ensure my code is readable and maintainable.

If you are developing code _for_ FreeBSD, then there is a set of style
guidelines.  You can read it on every FreeBSD system:

% man 9 style

If, on the other hand, you are developing applications for your own use,
the specific style doesn't matter so much, as long as you like it.

 Does ANSI or POSIX dictate anything about style or coding standards?

Not really.

Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] pointed out that their is a 
 FreeBSD style guide. There is also a GNU style guide, 
(http://www.nongnu.org/style-guide/) but the GNU people point out that 
what is more important than following their guide, it maintaining 
consistency within 1 project/product.
