naming-conventions

I'm trying to persist the following object with spring-data-mongodb version 1.1.1.RELEASE : @Document public static class TestObject { private final int m_property; @PersistenceConstructor public TestObject(int a_property) { m_property = a_property; } public int property() { return m_property; } } I get a MappingException when I try to read the object back from the database (see full stacktrace below) The naming convention my group uses requires argument variable names to be prefaced by a_ and instance variable names to be prefaced by m_ . It seems like spring-data-mongodb is making the

Variable names in haskell need to be in small case, but How to declare variables in .hs file, if we want to store g = 9.8 and G = 6.67300 × 10-11 (in following scenario) ? Conventionally Physicists mention : (1) Acceleration due to gravity on earth g = 9.8 m/sec^2 (2) Universal Gravitational constant G = 6.67300 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 You will just have to come up with another name. The distinction between names starting with upper- and lowercase letters is part of the syntax. While this may be unfortunate in your case, it's a design trade-off. In order to simplify differentiating between

I have two different namespaces, with lots of classes with the same name. I believe some code will make it easier to understand: namespace Print.Pdl.PostScript.Operators { public abstract class BaseOperator : IOperator { // ... } } namespace Print.Pdl.Pcl6.Operators { public abstract class BaseOperator : IOperator { // ... } } The basic implementation is the same, as PostScript and PCL have similar constructs. So, both namespaces end up having identical names to several classes. I am tempted to do the following... namespace Print.Pdl.PostScript.Operators { public abstract class BasePsOperator

PEP 8 recommends using a single trailing underscore to avoid conflicts with python keywords, but what about conflicts with module names for standard python modules? Should that also be a single trailing underscore? I'm imagining something like this: import time time_ = time.time() PEP 8 doesn't seem to address it directly. The trailing underscore is obviously necessary when you're colliding with a keyword, because your code would otherwise raise a SyntaxError (or, if you're really unlucky, compile to mean something completely different than you intended). So, even in contexts where you have a

I've been reading through a number of Emacs Lisp packages and have come across the convention of some functions being declared with -- after the library prefix, e.g.: (defun eproject--combine-regexps (regexp-list) I'm wondering if this a convention for declaring "private" functions to the library but so far I haven't found anything in the Emacs Coding guidelines. Emacs doesn't have any support for namespaces, packages, libraries or modules. Emacs sources therefore use foo- as a prefix for a foo library, and in some cases foo-- is used for bindings that are supposed to be internal. There is

What are the naming conventions that you use while coding? aku I hope we will not discuss prefixes for field names and brace styles here :) Here is my bible for .NET: Also MSDN gives solid guidelines. Another useful source is MS Internal Coding Guidelines Here's a list of general naming conventions from MSDN. I tend to just go-with-the-flow, however. Whatever standards are currently in place, it's usually easiest to just go with them and maybe slowly shift it over time. It's not really practical to just come into a project with your own idea of "standards" and try to implement them. It doesn't
