D. Function parametres in declarations.One solution is to put the parameters in /* comments */ in the declarations.
At the monent, pdd7 says that we mustn't omit them in declarations.
I propose to omit them. The advantage is: We wouldn't run the risk to
having a keyword of C++ as a parameter, we would have nothing
to coordinate with parameters in definitions. The drawback is: We would
lose a lot of helpful information that we could have obtained while
exploring
the headers.
In my own coding, I follow the rule of "leave it out if the type tells you everything you need to know about the purpose." But that's a subjective decision, and therefore dangerous to put in a coding style guide.
