Hi all,
HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) is case preserving but not case sensitive. At
first I didn't like this. But thinking about it, this actually makes
sense. It prevents the user from doing dumb things like creating files
which differ just in the case of the letters like abc.f and aBc.f.
It is my impression that the makedepend script messes things up if
capitalization is used but I don't want to spend time chasing this down
right now.
So I am with Ross to use lower case for module names for now.
For the rest, IMO capitalization improves readability of the code. I
used to be a fan of lower case mixed with underscores until I have seen
code using capitalization instead.
All the best,
Andy
