cpp-conventions

To standardize C++ coding conventions, apply unified formatting and naming rules across your files, covering member order, templates, and comments to improve readability and maintainability.

The best way to enforce a C++ style guide is by integrating clang-format for formatting and clang-tidy for linting, combined with review workflows to ensure consistent adherence.

Yes, you can use clang-format and clang-tidy to establish tooling guidelines and validation rules, ensuring uniform APIs and consistent style when starting new C++ projects.

C++ code reviews take longer when formatting diverges because reviewers must manually check inconsistent naming and class organization instead of focusing on logic, slowing down onboarding.

Yes, you need clang-tidy to lint and verify C++ naming conventions, member order, and template usage, while clang-format handles the structural formatting and indentation.

When applying coding conventions to legacy C++ code, limitations include potential merge conflicts from large formatting changes and the need to carefully refactor existing class organization.
