[linux-audio-dev] The global API namespace

Just wondering how the h*ll you're supposed to name functions and types when all sensible naming conventions seem to be reserved by POSIX and other authorities... How about this for Audiality: Functions: a_whatever() Types: at_whatever I bet *some* lib is using a_* and/or at_*, but I have yet to find it. Besides, it doesn't look like a great idea to use both a_* and at_* for a single project - but *_t is reserved, and I don't like Capitalization in public APIs. Maybe I can make an exception, though... A_* and AT_* or something? Then again, most compilers can tell types from functions without throwing too much bogus messages at the user, so one might get away with a single prefix and simply remove the _t everywhere. //David Olofson - Programmer, Composer, Open Source Advocate .- The Return of Audiality! --------------------------------. | Free/Open Source Audio Engine for use in Games or Studio. | | RT and off-line synth.
