I'm relatively new to C++, is this style common? I refer to, for example, putting the return of function on a separate line from the name and each of the passed parameters on a separate line as well.

For C++, I subscribe to Google style. It addresses this.

Indeed, the very best kind of coding convention is the automated and enforced kind. Prevents a lot of arguing, leaving more time to argue about the code's actual contents.

That’s a core challenge of writing code in a language as large and complicated and dangerous and rewarding as cpp.

There is no common style in C or C++. This is a free for all area, even with clang format.
