I have this ugly habit of prefixing all function and variable names with
some identifying information about the owning module and perhaps also the
subcategory of function, i.e.
CGIX_ARBINT_sqr t();
In a few cases, these names have become rather long.
For both functions and variables, how long can I safely go without running
into the risk of two different names being treated the same by the compiler
or the linker? What standards apply?
The three compilers I use are:
a)gcc on x86/Linux.
b)MS VC++.
c)Cosmic's suite for microcontroller s.
Any insight or traceability to standards would be appreciated.

The C standard guarantees in 5.2.4.1: Translation limits
<quote>
63 significant initial characters in an internal identifier or a macro
name (each universal character name or extended source character is
considered a single character)
— 31 significant initial characters in an external identifier
< end quote>
This are minimum requirements. gcc and msvc have
probably much more, but be careful with compilers for embedded systems.

For C99, you can assume 31 significant characters for external names,
and 63 significant characters for internal and macro names. For C90, I
believe you can only assume 6 significant characters for external
names, and for internal and macro names I don't know. However, those
are the minimum limits. The exact limits are implementation-defined, so
you should be able to find those documented by your implementations .

c89 Says:
"The implementation shall treat at least the first 31 characters of
an internal name (a macro name or an identifier that does not have
external linkage) as significant. Corresponding lower-case and
upper-case letters are different. The implementation may further
restrict the significance of an external name (an identifier that has
external linkage) to six characters and may ignore distinctions of
alphabetical case for such names./10/ These limitations on identifiers
are all implementation-defined."

Perl's map() function is a powerful shortcut to accomplish many "loop over
an array and do X" operations.
Below is a quick hack to simulate similar functionality.
I've used it a few times and find it to be quite handy.
Any thoughts?

I was looking at a Python function to find the maximum from a list.
The original was more complicated; I simplified it. The built-in max()
function can replace the simplified example, but not the original.
def maximum(lst):
maxval = lst
for i in xrange(1, len(lst)):
