https://sourceforge.net/p/patternbuilder/feature-requests/2/Recent changes to 2: Underscore user preferenceenMon, 09 Aug 2004 14:12:43 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/patternbuilder/feature-requests/2/<div class="markdown_content"><p>PB's code generator prefixes instance variables with an <br /> underscore. Some people like this, and others don't. Apple <br /> have informally asked Cocoa developers not to use the <br /> underscore prefix, as it could cause name clashes with their <br /> own use of the underscore in the Cocoa classes.</p> <p>PB should have a user preference that allows developers to <br /> specify the prefix that they want on their generated <br /> instance variables, e.g. '_', '', 'my', '_my' and so on.</p> <p>If developers use the 'raw' variable names in their code, <br /> rather than accessor methods, then a change to the prefix <br /> will mean they have to update the code in their methods <br /> and states. PB could provide a global variable replacement <br /> capability, applied at the users discretion, when the global <br /> prefix is changed.</p></div>Neil EarnshawMon, 09 Aug 2004 14:12:43 -0000https://sourceforge.net3d681b08bf92faa6b70f569f60aa1521c667f25a
