Coding standards - Member level variables

Posted on July 11, 2007

We have been looking at coding standards recently. The hottest topic so far seems to be around the prefix used (if any) of member level variables. The current choices are:

  1. m_ such as m_Name or m_name
  2. _ such as _name
  3. [None] such as Name or name I have my personal opinion which I shall reserve for the sake of this post. Arghhh! Can’t resist. I vote #2.

Which do you align with? Why? Are there others that should be considered?
