What's your convention for typedef'ing shared_ptr?

Question

I\'m flip-flopping between naming conventions for typedef\'ing the boost::shared_ptr template. For example:

typedef boost::shared_ptr FooPtr;
         


        

Answer 1

I'm not a big fan of Hungarian naming conventions, I usually use:

typedef boost::shared_ptr FooSharedPtr;

Detailed enough to be clear but short enough to not be a huge hassle. In any case, I would definitely indicate it's specifically a shared pointer, especially if you're not the only one who's going to be using that type in the future.
