# C++ Coding Standards (C++ Core Guidelines)

Hold your C++ to the C++ Core Guidelines

## What this does

If you write or look after C++ code, it can be hard to know whether it follows current good practice. This brings in the C++ Core Guidelines, a published set of recommendations for writing C++. Reach for it when you are writing new C++, reviewing someone's changes, or cleaning up older code.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Review my C++ against the Core Guidelines
- Write new C++ in a modern, idiomatic style
- Refactor older C++ code
