Sample Code with Examples for the C++ Google Style Guide?

Question

Are there any good places to get examples for the C++ Google Style Guide?

Do you plan to work at Google? – Distance

Nope. The company I work for told me that these are pretty close to the standards that we're going to use for writing C++ code. – Toile

FWIW, the Google C++ guides are not necessarily good for anybody else. They were designed for Google's purposes and situations. Just because Google is a highly successful high-tech company doesn't mean that what's good for it is good for everybody. – Gingham

I pity you, C with Objects is certainly not a language I wish to work with. – Nalda

@David Please tell this to my superiors. I have no choice in the matter. – Toile

Answer 1

Google open sources a number of projects, most of which comply with their style guides:

• protocol buffers
• re2 - pcre regular expressions
• perf tools - multithreaded performance analysis tools
• gflags - command line flags

Search Google code for google projects, and you'll find a lot!

gflags is a mess regarding variable names -- snake and camel mixed up. – Weaver

The source code for Chrome should theoretically follow their standards :)

From the first page: Chromium follows the Google C++ Style Guide unless an exception is listed below.. So Chromium does not entirely follow the Google Style, therefore it's probably not the best reference code. – Actinouranium
