No doubt, it’s essential for understanding code to give member variables a prefix so that they can easily be distinguished from “normal” variables. I dispute this claim. It’s not the least bit necessary if you have half-decent syntax highlighting. A good IDE can let you write your code in readable English, and can show you … Read more
The rules are the same as for Java identifiers since each resource must have a corresponding ID field generated in the R.java file.
Rules for identifier names in C++ are: It can not start with a number Can be composed of letters, numbers, underscore, universal character names1 and implementation defined characters Can not be a keyword. The sections in the C++ draft standard that cover this are 2.11 Identifiers which includes the following grammar: identifier: identifier-nondigit <- Can … Read more
Namespacing in Swift is implicit. All classes and other symbols belong to the target (module) they are defined in. So if you define a class String the fully qualified name would be MyTarget.String. When there is a name collision, you have to prefix the class name with the module (framework) it is defined in, except … Read more
function startEditing(){ if (user.canEdit(currentDocument)){ editorControl.setEditMode(true); setButtonDown(btnStartEditing); } } Should read like a narrative work.
From Linkers and Loaders: At the time that UNIX was rewritten in C in about 1974, its authors already had extensive assember language libraries, and it was easier to mangle the names of new C and C-compatible code than to go back and fix all the existing code. Now, 20 years later, the assembler code … Read more
Something i found * EAX – Accumulator Register * EBX – Base Register * ECX – Counter Register * EDX – Data Register * ESI – Source Index * EDI – Destination Index * EBP – Base Pointer * ESP – Stack Pointer
Try the following: // One level of macro indirection is required in order to resolve __COUNTER__, // and get varname1 instead of varname__COUNTER__. #define CONCAT(a, b) CONCAT_INNER(a, b) #define CONCAT_INNER(a, b) a ## b #define UNIQUE_NAME(base) CONCAT(base, __COUNTER__) void main() { int UNIQUE_NAME(foo) = 123; // int foo0 = 123; std::cout << foo0; // prints … Read more
Naming rules for refname: Git imposes the following rules on how references are named: They can include slash / for hierarchical (directory) grouping, but no slash-separated component can begin with a dot . or end with the sequence .lock. They must contain at least one /. This enforces the presence of a category like heads/, … Read more
I’ll cite some passages from Implementation Patterns by Kent Beck: Simple Superclass Name “[…] The names should be short and punchy. However, to make the names precise sometimes seems to require several words. A way out of this dilemma is picking a strong metaphor for the computation. With a metaphor in mind, even single words … Read more
