reserved identifier violation

[elfring]

I would like to point out that a prefix like “cmdf__” does eventually not fit to the expected naming convention of the C++ language standard.
Would you like to adjust your selection for unique names?

Hi @elfring, thank you for the comment.

The naming convention is indeed not very C++ friendly; it was done so because the library was meant to be used from C, and C++ support was only added afterwards.

Changing the naming convention to remove the cmdf__ prefix will break the C API, so I prefer not to do so, even at the expense of violating the standard's recommendations.

I am leaving this issue open, and any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

…, so I prefer not to do so,

Double underscores may be used at some places also for C identifiers.

even at the expense of violating the standard's recommendations.

💭 Should such an implementation detail be reconsidered any more if questionable identifiers might be reused also for C++ software components?
