reserved identifier violation #192

Open elfring opened 6 years ago

elfring commented 6 years ago

I would like to point out that identifiers like “_CModulus_H_” and “_FHE_H_” do not fit to the expected naming convention of the C++ language standard. Would you like to adjust your selection for unique names?

Hi Markus, can you elaborate on what you mean by the "expected naming convention of the C++ language standard"? These macros are never used anywhere other than for replacing 'pragma once', so I really don't care how they are called. If there is a good reason to change them, then by all means go ahead and do it.

How do you think about to avoid that this software depends on undefined behaviour?

shaih commented 6 years ago

Again, please explain.

elfring commented 6 years ago

I suggest to take another look at the usage of reserved identifiers.

Hi Shai,

The point is, compilers are free to, for example, #define anything of the form _[A-Z]. and .__.* So one should not use this. I break this rule myself and have yet to get bitten by it.

How are the chances to improve standard compliance?
