How do I change the syntax highlighting in VSCode so that it adheres to a particular style guide? For example, I want to adhere to the Google C++ style guide where member variables are written as some_member_variable_ . When I use this convention, VSCode does not color that name differently from standard text. But I have some code that uses the mSomeMemberVariable convention, and that does get colored differently than other text. Is there a way to configure this better? TL;DR >There is no easy way to apply Google style syntax highlighting unless you find an existing cpp Textmate grammar file

Not to say that the Google Style Guide is the holy bible but as a newbie programmer, it seems like a good reference. The Google Style Guide lists the following disadvantages of forward declaration Forward declarations can hide a dependency, allowing user code to skip necessary recompilation when headers change. A forward declaration may be broken by subsequent changes to the library. Forward declarations of functions and templates can prevent the header owners from making otherwise-compatible changes to their APIs, such as widening a parameter type, adding a template parameter with a default

According to the Google JavaScript style guide, function declarations should not be declared within blocks since this is not a part of ECMAScript. However, I'm not entirely clear on what counts as a block. Specifically, I have a constructor function and I want to define a function within the scope of that constructor. Would this count as a function within a block, since it is within a set of {}? If so, does that mean every function declaration must be global? Some code for good measure: WRONG (?) function Constructor() { function Shout () { alert('THE BEST UX IS IN ALL CAPS.'); } } RIGHT (?)
