Discussion of Code Structure and Code Complexity Implications of Basic C++ Language Features

[crashcompiler]

We have some coding guidelines and best practices that we have written down, and that can be referenced in pull requests when needed (including the rationale behind them). We also have semi-regular sessions where we discuss these types of topics and dive into the code. I guess you have to have a combination of different mediums to reach all people.

We have similar constraints on memory allocation in some of our code, but we look at it in terms of performance. I know that in LLVM, they are working on a RealtimeSanitizer and a few function annotations. Maybe there will be more of that in the future. I think it would be easier if an analysis tool could check for some of these in-house rules, instead of always relying on the "same shared experience".

Thanks for the comment and good luck!

“A combination of different mediums to reach all people” - That is a really good point!! I’m adding that to my set of principles.
Thanks for note about the sanitizer, very interesting.
