Dominic Hamon updated MESOS-1046:
---------------------------------
Component/s: technical debt
> 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
> Components: technical debt
> Affects Versions: 0.19.0
> Reporter: Till Toenshoff
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: c, c++, libprocess, mesos, standards, stout
>
> 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
