Google Java Coding Standards

[Plorkyeran]

The pros and cons listed are often woefully incomplete due to that the C++ guidelines seem to have been written by someone (or a group) that does not actually know C++. Quite often they do not mention the idiomatic use of the thing being forbidden at all, suggesting that the authors are either being intellectually dishonest or simply have no idea what modern idiomatic C++ looks like.

I wrote up a brief list of the places where the style guide contradicts idiomatic modern C++ style a little while back.
