Looking at their example code.... I find there is a lot of problems, duplicated code, large function with many many obvious simpler functions inlined causing lots of local variable pollution.<p>MISRA is another standard that's popular and I've seen a bunch of code developed using this standard.<p>But the problem with style guides, they have lots of points that are very agreeable, but it is all undone if you don't have clean well designed code. I've seen too much emphasis on conforming to the style guide (often because of contractual agreements on the developed code). But the more important part of making the code clean gets less attention because it is harder to quantify and harder to enforce via static analysis.<p>however, that doesn't mean it's a bad thing to have, it's just that conformity to a style guide is a very low bar in terms of quality.
