Naming Conventions

Some sort of convention – maybe not the best, but at least it's a choice. Of course, these are solely a suggestion, and exceptions could occur.

• Classes are things: "ExampleClass"
• Variables and class members have names like "myVariable"
• Namespaces like "thisNamespace"
• Acronyms uncapitalized generally like "DssdProcessor" (exceptions may abound)
• Global CONSTANT variables can have forms like "CONSTANT_VARIABLE"
• C++ functions declared as actions: "DoSomething(...)"
• Fortran functions called as "func_()"
• Implementation of classes in files with the same name as the class
• Files with extensions ".cpp", ".hpp", and ".f"
• Generic index variables use "i,j,k" or more explicit names such as "mod, ch"; if you need more, consider reorganizing your code
• Enumeration types like "EColors" with members "BLUE, RED, ORANGE"
• Typedefs with simple names like "word_t"
• Spectrum IDs use namespaces as appropriate and constant names like "D_ENERGY" (1D) or "DD_ENERGY__TIME" (2D, time (y) vs. energy (x)): subject to further consideration
