C ++ writing format and user display formats

I think we should have a common site to share, discuss and reach agreements on internal and external formats, for example

I do not know if it is better (* .bin, * .dll) or with ";" Instead of "," and if you always add a space later or not, or use uppercase or lowercase letters

So far the format seems to be, lowercase and space after ","
I do not know if it's better, ";"

With respect to the c ++ format it seems a little long
command
{
Break;
}

I prefer

Command {
Break;
}

Or for a single instruction inside, use:

Command
Break;

AS a counterpoint, I prefer

command
{
Break;
}

since it visually helps me line up opening and closing braces.

No matter the decision, I would suggest a tool like google's cpp linter: https://github.com/google/styleguide/tree/gh-pages/cpplint (which, to my dismay, enforces a line break immediately after an open brace).

When modifying existing code best to adopt the style that is already there. Unix indent is a good tool for setting style. For new routines I prefer K&R ( indent -kr) or Linux (indent -linux)
