Well, I think (almost) any style is good as long as we will keep it
consistent through all our code. BSD style is just fine for me, I would
only suggest to use spaces instead of tabs - it makes code easier to
print and view in different editors with different tab width settings.

As for C++, I like Herb Sutter's notation described in his "[More]
Exceptional C++" books - i.e. something like the following:
  ClassOrTypeName
  methodOrFunctionName
  variableName
  memberVariableName_
  plain_c_variable_or_function
  CONSTANT_NAME
  TEMPLATE_PARAMETER

You can find examples on Herb's web site at http://www.gotw.ca (which is
an excellent resource for any C++ developer, BTW).

Let me know what you guys think about it.

Thank you,
Sergei.
