Function Design (FDESIGN)

Design of functions and function prototypes.
Items referring to code in function bodies, reside in topic FIMPL - Function Implementation.

One Task (OneTask)

Give a function only one cohesive task. -> Details

Canonical Operators (CanOp)

Use canonical signatures for all operator overloads. Provide canonical behavior for arithmetic operators. -> Details

Unambiguous Parameters (Params)

Mark parameter intention unambiguously. Out- and inout- parameters need to be distinguished unmistakably.
Use smart pointers as parameter type for objects on the heap, when the responsibility for deleting is unclear or transfered between caller and callee. -> Details
