SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Comprehensive C++ coding standards derived from the C++ Core Guidelines to enforce safe, expressive, and maintainable code across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces RAII, immutability defaults, and strong type safety to reduce resource leaks and undefined behavior.
  • Covers guidelines for functions, classes, templates, error handling, and standard library usage to improve readability and consistency.
  • Use cases include writing new C++ code, peer reviews, and refactoring efforts to align with modern best practices.

Quick Start

To apply these standards, audit your codebase and begin refactoring modules to adopt RAII, const-correctness, and explicit ownership.
