Yes, #defined CONSTANTS should be in all caps, everything else as per the normal
rules. It is one of the few widely adopted coding conventions in the C world.
(also agree with John's comment about not having redudant underbars, but I
don't feel strongly about it)

Subject: [sv-cc] Informal poll on constant naming convention
Team,
Andrzej and I have a debate about two conflicting
requirements for the naming convention in the .h files:
1) All names prefixed with "sv_"
2) All #define symbols capitalized
Currently the #define's look like this:
#define sv_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER ...
My feeling is that we should allow function names to
be prefixed with "sv_", and contant symbols to be
prefixed with "SV_" (i.e. rule #2 has precedence
over rule #1).
Would you mind giving us your opinions on this matter?
If no one responds, then Andrzej will just leave things
as they are and we will have symbols like "sv_ALLCAPS".
Thanks and regards,
Doug
