Java style classes in c++

Are there published guidelines, standards, or references that propose more than 80 chars per line?
Despite increases in screen size and resolution, many sources still suggest that code be limited to 80 characters per line. I realize than there are many different opinions on this subject, but I wonder whether there are any standards bodies or influential firms that use other limits (120 characters is a common alternative). For example, are any standards bodies considering “enlarging” the suggested limit? Are there large scale software projects (e.g. at NASA or ESA) that use larger limits?
How can I avoid mistakes using the same variable name again?

Is it a good idea to provide different function signatures that do the same thing?
Here is a C++ class that gets constructed with three values.
