A few times when looking at code on the net I have seen objects,
variables etc prefixed by an underscore. But I've never seen any
explanation for the reason for this. What is the reason for doing this?
Thanks,
Mike

This is olb naming convention for private variables. In new MS naming
convention you should use m_ as prefix for private members

Nothing magical about it; it's just one of many naming conventions for
private class members. I think the underscore prefix is favored by C++
coders.

I think prefixing any variable in a strongly typed environment simply adds
clutter. I find the convention of capitalizing public members but not
private is much more elegant. Just my opinion.

I think the guidlines actually discourage use of m_ when it says "Do
not apply a prefix to field names or static field names."

Somebody with a very regulatory mind in this newsgroup has written
that it's better not to use a leading underscore for class member
names, because names with a leading underscore are used internally by
compilers (well, not so internally, since they appear in header
files).
I personally use the leading underscore (followed by a lower case
letter), which I consider to be much more readable than the trailing
underscore.
My reasoning is...

Many in our development team have came from a C++ background and are in
the practice of prefixing private class variables with an underscore to
improve readability and avoid naming collisions with local variables
and parameters. This has become our standard.
ie private string _name;
as opposed to:
ie private string name;

Would it be safe to prefix private and protected methods and properties with

Hi,
I was wondering, I've been reading some C++ code written by others,
usually libraries and stuff, and I've come across what strikes me as a
distinctive style that pervades most of the code I've been reading.
What I'm talking about is that some variables are declared with a "_"
prefix while others lack it. For example you may find a variable and
even functions like
int _temp

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
