Legacy Naming Conventions
  • For identifiers formed from multiple words, separate each component with underscore rather than capitalization. Thus, use my_var instead of myVar or MyVar.
  • Avoid capitalization except for class names; class names should begin with a capital letter. This exception from Google coding guidelines exists because the server has a history of using My_class. It will be confusing to mix the two (from a code-review perspective).
class Item;
class Log_event;
Base class that is used to represent any kind of expression in a relational query.
Definition: item.h:936
This is the abstract base class for binary log events.
Definition: log_event.h:538
Definition: sql_class.h:348
  • Avoid function names, structure elements, or variables that begin or end with '_'.
  • Use long function and variable names in English. This makes your code easier to read for all developers.
  • We used to have the rule: "Structure types are typedef'ed to an all-upper-case identifier." That rule has been deprecated for C++ code. Do not add typedefs for structs/classes in C++.
  • All #define declarations should be in upper case.
#define MY_CONSTANT 15
  • Enumeration names should begin with enum_.
  • Function declarations (forward declarations) have parameter names in addition to parameter types.
