Sample C code using the Google C++ style guide

// Sample file using the Google C++ coding standard.

//
// General rules:
//   - Indents are two spaces. No tabs should be used anywhere.
//   - Each line must be at most 80 characters long.
//   - Comments can be // or /* but // is most commonly used.
//   - File names should be lower_case.c or lower-case.c
//
// Note: The Google C++ coding standard is a C++ coding standard. There are
// aspects specific to C that the coding standard does not specify, and these
// exceptions are noted below.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

// For macros, use ALL_CAPS separated by underscore:
#define FLAG_FOO 0x0

// If a macro's replacement is not just a literal, enclose it in parentheses:
#define FLAG_BAZ (0x1 << 3)

// For constants, use k followed by PascalCase:
const int kStateFoo = 0;

// Type names should be PascalCase.
// Note: the Google coding standard does not specify how to format a struct
// name that has not been typedef-ed. I am following the lower_case separated
// by underscores format for now but this can be changed later.
typedef struct linked_list LinkedList;

// Enum values can either look like macros:
typedef enum {
  MODE_FOO,
  MODE_BAR,
  MODE_BAZ,
  MODE_QUX
} Mode;

// or they can look like contants:
typedef enum {
  kStateFoo,
  kStateBar,
  kStateBaz,
  kStateQux
} State;

// Names of members of structs are lower_case and separated by underscores:
typedef struct sample {
  int first_field;
  bool second_field;
  Mode mode;
  State state;
  struct sample *next;
} Sample;

// Function names are PascalCase. Opening braces come at the end of the last
// line for the function declaration rather than on the next line.

  // Local variables are lower_case and separated by underscores.

C and C++ are different languages. You mention that this is "the Google C++ coding standard" and yet your file is C.

Are Googlers still posting incredibly idiotic and disrespecful garbage on Memegen mocking other companies/products? Tell Kent Walker I said hello.

In case you missed it " Sample C code using the Google C++ style guide ", top of the page

line 96 should be memset(sample, 0, sizeof(*sample));
