A personal style guide documenting the author's favorite C programming practices, covering compiler warning flags, correctness, readability, and maintainability conventions. The author has since disavowed the document and points readers to modern resources like the SEI CERT C Coding Standard.
Use cases
- learn C coding style conventions
- find recommended compiler warning flags for C projects
- improve readability and maintainability of C code
- review best practices for writing correct C software
- compare personal C style rules against a community guide
When to choose
- you want a concise opinionated set of C style rules to pick and choose from
- you need a starting point for configuring strict compiler warnings in a C build
When to avoid
- you need an actively endorsed, up-to-date C standard - the author explicitly no longer recommends it
- you want authoritative industry guidance - prefer SEI CERT or OpenSSF hardening guides
- you need tooling rather than prose guidance - use clang-format instead
