redi: No kidding! "We do not use C++ exceptions." What a way to dispel the myth of a Google populated by geniuses. Oh, and StudlyCapsTypeNames, too. If it's true that "taste is the feminine of genius", they've shot both. Oh, look, enumerator names that get clobbered by common vendor header macros? Fail. No rule against public virtual functions? Fail. No requirement to qualify member accesses with "this->"? Fail. "Don't use an unsigned type", without a peep about how signed overflow is undefined behavior? Fail.
