Naming Conventions and Hungarian Notation

Naming Conventions and Hungarian Notation in C++

This post is specifically addressed to Valmont, as it concerns his code here. But I'd also like to hear from anyone who has an opinion.

-------------------
I noted your use of the method naming convention: wait_for_enter();.
I am curious for your thoughts on naming conventions in C++ (I have encountered conflicting views).


// Style name?
// I encounter this ocasionally in C++ but use it in only in C.

wait_for_enter();


// Camel Casing
// I use this in C++

waitForEnter();


// Pascal Casing
// I use this to conform in C#

WaitForEnter();

I hear that so long as you are consistant and don't deviate from accepted practices then it is largely a matter of personal style.
I would like to base a personal style on an acceptable practice before I get to comfortable with it.

-------------------

Lastly, if I may pick your brain further I'd like your thoughts on "Hungarian Notation" in C++. Use it or lose it.
Some programmers take it to far.. rgszxyzpdqOrderNo

Charles Simonyi Style 1
e.g. string sName;

(VB Style) Style 2
e.g. string strName;

I'm currently in the process of developing my own naming convention. I am in that position luckily. The reason for that is that I don't like the established naming conventions for C++.

Since I am still thinking, I can not give an answer yet.
However, the names you think of, should make clear what you want. That's a task by itself if no decent preparation is done during design.

Enjoy your cappucino, I'll check back later on.
