 C++ Coding GuidelinesThe CERT C++ Coding Guidelines are split into two sections: C++ Rules and C++ Recommendations.  | | The C++ Rules are focused on normative guidelines which must be followed for secure coding best practices. These rules are currently under active development. Please create a sign-in account if you are interested in commenting or contributing to these rules. |

 | | The C++ Recommendations are focused on nonnormative guidelines which are recommended to follow for secure coding best practices, but may be considered more stylistic in their content.
