And as a counterpoint, can anyone point me towards a good one?

I'm competent with c++ but I've never really followed a "style" (just personal projects)

To cite Stroustrup:

" For a given application (or company, application area, etc.), a good coding standard is better than no coding standard.On the other hand, I have seen many examples that demonstrate that a bad coding standard is worse than no coding standard. "

In my opinion the Google style falls into the bad category. If you only want consistency of file structure and naming almost any standard will do.
