IntroductionThis document is a modified version of a document from a committee formed at AT&Ts Indian Hilllabs to establish a common set of coding standards and recommendations for the Indian Hill community.The scope of this work is C coding style. Good style should encourage consistent layout improve portability and reduce errors. This work does not cover functional organization or general issues such as the useof gotos. We1have tried to combine previous work 168] on C style into a uniform set of standards thatshould be appropriate for any project using C although parts are biased towards particular systems. Ofnecessity these standards cannot cover all situations. Experience and informed judgement count for much.Programmers who encounter unusual situations should consult either experienced C programmers or codewritten by experienced C programmers (preferably following these rules).The standards in this document are not of themselves required but individual institutions or groupsmay adopt part or all of them as a part of program acceptance. It is th ...
