Hi guys, I think this is nothing to be changed right now. Those are the kind of changes that can be made to a project just in certain moments (like the time when there are no branches from main sources -and we have serveral, mine included-).
If you start changing capitalization on all files around you'll get DVCS branches broken, and it will lead to a lot of "useless" work, a work that will give very little gain. I agree that the current standard could lead to little confusion sometimes, but it's not bad at all, it gives uniformity to our source code, and it's more than enough. My 2 cents. 2012/6/23 Dick Hollenbeck <[email protected]> > On 06/22/2012 05:55 PM, Alexander Lunev wrote: > > I believe most developers agree to follow some project predetermined > coding style policy... > > > > According to the KiCad coding style policy, constants and macro names > should be > > comprised of all capital letters (it is common, that is OK).
