Hello all,
Boost.Local uses a special name `this_` to access the object `this` bound from the enclosing scope. Shall this name be `this_` or `_this` according to Boost practices?
Names with leading underscore should be avoided, they may be used by the compiler for its own needs.
A name beginning with an underscore not followed by a capital letter is allowable at non-global scope (provided it doesn't contain two consecutive underscores). Such names include _, _1, and _this.
Granted, it is very unlikely _this to be used by the implementation, but I've seen compilers defining macros with leading underscore followed by a lowercase letter. There is no reason to insist on using leading underscores, in global scope or not. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
