Style for enumerator values

Technical Feedback
15

Hi everyone,

This topic has been discussed at today’s admin meeting (notes).

The main take away:

  • Overall it is fine to use TitleCase for enum class, but stick to SNAKE_STYLE for enum and macro.
  • We do need to have a policy for abbreviations.

The proposal could be to capitalize the first letter of acronyms. Possibly follow Camel case: defined from Google.
There is a hard feeling about ID, because it is what it is, and is not a short for “identifier”. Don’t think there is anything wrong with saying that ID is ID. Unless someone is willing to be verbose, and spell it as DataBlock in the enum values :slight_smile:

Thoughts, comments?
