# Objective

A C coding style which:

*   is concise 
*   minimizes diffs for common maintenance and refactoring tasks 
*   is stable under automated indent tools (indent, uncrustify) 
*   is generally independent of brace-style 
*   easily greppable

# Common Maintenance Tasks

*   Modify a function declaration 
*   Modify a struct or enum

# General

*   No horizontal alignment (this includes comment boxes)

# List elements

## Function parameter lists

*   Separate lines for: 
    *   Return and storage type 
    *   Function name 
    *   Parameters 
*   Comma-decl style for parameters

extern return\_type\_t
    Function(
             int param1
             , int param2
             , int param3
            );

## Enumerations

*   Mandatory last element

enum Enumeration {
       ZEROTH = ,   /**! Short description */
       FIRST = 1,
       SECOND = 2,
    
       /** Mandatory last element */
       LAST
    };

# Expressions

*   Separate lines for each argument 
*   New indent for each sub-expression

if (booleanA
            && booleanB
            || (booleanC
                && booleanD
               )
           )
        {
    
        }
