[boost] [local] this_ or _this?

3 Apr 2011

      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?

struct c {
    void g(int x) { ... }
    void f() {
        void BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTION_PARAMS( (int x) (bind this) ) {
            this_->g(x); // <<<<<<<<< Shall this be `_this->g(x);` instead?
            ...
        } BOOST_LOCAL_FUNCTIO_NAME(l)
        ...
    }
    ...
};

In particular, some library uses _ postfix for statements like
mpl::if_ (not mpl::_if) while other uses _ prefix for variables like
phoenix::local_names::_f (not local_names::f_).

Thanks a lot.
