             Summary: [C++][Docs] Summarize function argument type guidelines in developers/cpp.rst
                 Key: ARROW-5549
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5549
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
            Assignee: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.14.0


We have a number of spoken and unspoken guidelines around argument passing -- some of them are codified in the Google style guide while others (e.g. use of smart pointers as function arguments) are applied via convention and enforced in code reviews. 

I propose to add a section to make each case explicit so that our code can become more hygienic and our code reviews less intense
