# C++ coding Style
The basic formatting rules are set in `.clang-format`. Use auto-formatting in your editor.
All code should target C++ language revision 20.
If you use CLion, please enable the setting called "Enable ClangFormat" under Settings > Editor > Code Style.
## Naming
### Files
Files are upper camel case.
- Files: `^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$`
- Directories: `^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$`
Example:
```c++
SomeFeature.cpp
SomeFeature.h
```
Private/internal headers are postfixed with `Private` before the file extension.
Like `SomeFeaturePrivate.h`
### Folders
Project folders include:
- `Source` for source files and public header files
- `Private` for private header files
- `Include` for projects that require separate header files
Sources for a specific namespace must go into a folder with the lowercase name of that namespace.
The only exception to this is the root namespace, as this doesn't require its own subfolder.
### Function names
Names are lower camel case.
Example:
```c++
void getLimit() {
// ...
}
```
### Type names
Consts are lower camel case with capital letters.
Typedefs for structs, classes and datatype aliases are upper camel case.
Examples:
```c++
typedef uint32_t ThreadId;
const ThreadId id;
struct ThreadData {
// ...
};
```
### Enumerations
`enum class` or `enum struct` is preferred over plain `enum` because of scoping. It's styled like this:
```c++
enum class {
Ok,
NotSupported,
Error
};
```
### Exceptions
Don't ever throw them. Make a return type that wraps all the error and success scenarios that are relevant.
