Various coding styles for C language have been proposed so far but there has been a lack of synthetic review about them. In this paper, I propose a new C coding style by analyzing coding rules that are included in the representative C coding styles and by adding new coding rules besides them. In addition, I designed an automated C coding style checker named CStyler which was implemented using Lex and Yacc. It is designed to be able to verify unpreprocessed source code as well as preprocessed source code. And I improved its flexibility by being able to add a new coding rule by end user. I think that the new C coding style and coding style checker, CStyler, can be utilized for education and for future research to develop and extend a static analysis tool.
