Coding Style

Philosophy

1. If it's inserting something into the existing classes/functions, try to follow the existing style as closely as possible.
2. If it's brand new code or refactoring a complete class or area of the code, please follow as Modern C++ of a style as you can and reference the C++ Core Guidelines as much as you possibly can.
3. When working with any Win32 or NT API, please try to use the Windows Internal Library smart pointers and result handlers.
4. The use of NTSTATUS as a result code is discouraged, HRESULT or exceptions are preferred. Functions should not return a status code if they would always return a successful status code. Any function that returns a status code should be marked noexcept and have the nodiscard attribute.
