</div><div class="gmail_extra">If you think the LLVM style is bad (in many places, I think it is bad) then advocate for changing it. But advocate for changing it *from the position of conforming to it, even if not everything is precisely to your liking*. Much of it is not to my liking, but I write my code that way to be consistent. If you always reserve the right to diverge because of a reason (rather than change the standards when they are flawed), then it is isn't a coding standard at all, it's a set of coding suggestions to be ignored at will.</div>
