-------------------------------------
Summary: Use of leading underscore in names (global symbols and
defines)
Key: MESOS-1046
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1046
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.19.0
Reporter: Till Toenshoff
Priority: Minor
Even though this appears to be a very common standard breach, I thought it
would still be nice to play entirely by the rules.
If I get things right, then according to the 1999 C standard as well as the
2003 C++ standard, using leading underscores followed by a capital letter and
maybe even more importantly, using double-underscores are reserved for the
implementation of those standards. This appears to apply for both, global
namespace symbols as well as defines.
We are currently using double-underscores in our include-guards and it may be
wise to fix that and any other collision with the standards in relation with
the use of underscores.
A nice compilation of the related standard quotes can be found at
