What is a good naming convention for vars, methods, etc in C++? [closed]

Answer 1

I actually often use Java style: PascalCase for type names, camelCase for functions and variables, CAPITAL_WORDS for preprocessor macros. I prefer that over the Boost/STL conventions because you don't have to suffix types with _type. E.g.

Size size();

instead of

size_type size();   // I don't like suffixes

This has the additional benefit that the StackOverflow code formatter recognizes Size as a type name ;-)
