Wheeler 31-Jan-05 0:46  Ours is a mix of Pascal (publics and protected), camel case (private), C-style (locals within a method), and FORTRAN (#define's). I suppose the fact that we 'encode' access and visibility in our names does mean we use Hungarian notation (the notion that you encode metadata about the value in the name). Software Zen: delete this; Mix of Hungarian and Camel Caps Antti Keskinen31-Jan-05 0:01 Antti Keskinen 31-Jan-05 0:01  I use somewhat of a mix of Hungarian notation and Camel Caps. For example, all object and reference variables start with a prefix obj or ref. Pointers are p. Global variables have a prefix g_. For standard variables, 'n' is integer, 's' is short, 'c' is char, 'l' is long, 'f' is float and 'd' is double. For pointer-to-value types, only the pointer prefix is used, aka the type of pointed-to is not visible in the declaration. I've fathomed a small syntax for my variables expr: [g_][type][name in Camel Caps] The problem is that if I have a type double, like in g_dMaxSum, and I need to change it to float, it's always a find & replace run. I use this for all languages I use. It might be difficult to read, and problematic in change situations, but I like it -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- "If we wrote a report stating we saw a jet fighter with a howitzer, who's going to believe us ?" -- R.A.F. pilot quote on seeing a Me 262 armed with a 50mm Mauser cannon. I indicate scope in prefix Bamaco230-Jan-05 23:46 Bamaco2 30-Jan-05 23:46  This way, looking at code, I can't tell the type of a thing, but I can tell what scope it has. prefix meaning "a" attributes "g" static or global "k" constant "p" parameter ex: extern const COLORREF kDefaultColor; struct TPixel { COLORREF aBackColor; CPoint aPosition; void color( COLORREF pColor = kDefaultColor); COLORREF color() const; }; Furthermore, I use "C" or "T" to denote a C++ TYPE or a C STRUCT. On member function accessors, I use "camelCase". On member function not use for accessors, I use "PascalCase". On local (stack) variable, I use "c_style_case". I think that encoding the TYPE of something in a variable name defeats the purpose of a language with strong type checking emphasis, such as C++. I find it easyer to encode the scope. At least, it makes it easy to read. Assuming local variables... Colin Angus Mackay30-Jan-05 22:58 Colin Angus Mackay 30-Jan-05 22:58  Then camel case. Do you want to know more?

Re: Some time i create my Own feline_dracoform31-Jan-05 23:42 feline_dracoform 31-Jan-05 23:42  i like this idea i think i will adopt this for static variables. i find it very important to know which ones are static when i find i have to use one, but i never had a consistent way of indicating them. zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness Re: Some time i create my Own James R. Twine2-Feb-05 6:09 James R. Twine 2-Feb-05 6:09     Same thing for using g_ for global objects.  Also:      ms_ for member static variables.      gs_ for global static variables.    I also do the S_ for static member methods/functions.    Peace! -=- James If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!
