readability-identifier-naming#

Checks for identifiers naming style mismatch.

This check will try to enforce coding guidelines on the identifiers naming. It supports one of the following casing types and tries to convert from one to another if a mismatch is detected

Casing types include:

  • lower_case

  • UPPER_CASE

  • camelBack

  • CamelCase

  • camel_Snake_Back

  • Camel_Snake_Case

  • aNy_CasE

  • Leading_upper_snake_case

It also supports a fixed prefix and suffix that will be prepended or appended to the identifiers, regardless of the casing.

Many configuration options are available, in order to be able to create different rules for different kinds of identifiers. In general, the rules are falling back to a more generic rule if the specific case is not configured.

The naming of virtual methods is reported where they occur in the base class, but not where they are overridden, as it can’t be fixed locally there. This also applies for pseudo-override patterns like CRTP.

Leading_upper_snake_case is a naming convention where the first word is capitalized followed by lower case word(s) separated by underscore(s) ‘_’. Examples include: Cap_snake_case, Cobra_case, Foo_bar_baz, and Master_copy_8gb.

Hungarian notation can be customized using different HungarianPrefix settings. The options and their corresponding values are:

  • Off - the default setting

  • On - example: int iVariable

  • LowerCase - example: int i_Variable

  • CamelCase - example: int IVariable

The check only enforces style on kinds of identifiers which have been configured, so an empty config effectively disables it. The DefaultCase option can be used to enforce style on all kinds of identifiers, then optionally overriden for specific kinds which are desired with a different case.

For example using values of:

Identifies and transforms names as follows:

Before:

#define macroDefinition
template <typename typenameParameter>
int functionDeclaration(typenameParameter paramVal, int paramCount);

After:

#define MACRO_DEFINITION
template <typename TypenameParameter>
int function_declarations(TypenameParameter param_val, int param_count);

General options

Specific options

Options description#

A detailed description of each option is presented below:

DefaultCase#

When defined, the check will ensure all names by default conform to the selected casing.

DefaultPrefix#

When defined, the check will ensure all names by default will add the prefix with the given value (regardless of casing).

DefaultIgnoredRegexp#

Identifier naming checks won’t be enforced for all names by default matching this regular expression.

DefaultSuffix#

When defined, the check will ensure all names by default will add the suffix with the given value (regardless of casing).

DefaultHungarianPrefix#

When enabled, the check ensures that the declared identifier will have a Hungarian notation prefix based on the declared type.

AbstractClassCase#

When defined, the check will ensure abstract class names conform to the selected casing.

AbstractClassPrefix#

When defined, the check will ensure abstract class names will add the prefix with the given value (regardless of casing).

AbstractClassIgnoredRegexp#

Identifier naming checks won’t be enforced for abstract class names matching this regular expression.

AbstractClassSuffix#

When defined, the check will ensure abstract class names will add the suffix with the given value (regardless of casing).

AbstractClassHungarianPrefix#

For example using values of:

Identifies and/or transforms abstract class names as follows:

Before:

class ABSTRACT_CLASS {
public:
  ABSTRACT_CLASS();
};

After:

class pre_abstract_class_post {
public:
  pre_abstract_class_post();
};
AggressiveDependentMemberLookup#

When true, the check will look in dependent base classes for dependent member references that need changing. This can lead to errors with template specializations. Default is false.

For example using values of:

Before:

template <typename T>
struct Base {
  T BadNamedMember;
};

template <typename T>
struct Derived : Base<T> {
  void reset() {
    this->BadNamedMember = 0;
  }
};

After if AggressiveDependentMemberLookup is false:

template <typename T>
struct Base {
  T bad_named_member;
};

template <typename T>
struct Derived : Base<T> {
  void reset() {
    this->BadNamedMember = 0;
  }
};

After if AggressiveDependentMemberLookup is true:

template <typename T>
struct Base {
  T bad_named_member;
};

template <typename T>
struct Derived : Base<T> {
  void reset() {
    this->bad_named_member = 0;
  }
};
AllowTrailingUnderscore#

When true, a single trailing underscore is allowed on any identifier, in addition to whatever casing, prefix and suffix are otherwise configured for its kind.

For example using values:

Transforms names as follows:

Before:

void f(int value) {
  int Value_ = value;
}

After:

void f(int value) {
  int value_ = value;
}
CheckAnonFieldInParent#

When true, fields in anonymous records (i.e. anonymous unions and structs) will be treated as names in the enclosing scope rather than public members of the anonymous record for the purpose of name checking.

For example:

class Foo {
private:
  union {
    int iv_;
    float fv_;
  };
};

If CheckAnonFieldInParent is false, you may get warnings that iv_ and fv_ are not coherent to public member names, because iv_ and fv_ are public members of the anonymous union. When CheckAnonFieldInParent is true, iv_ and fv_ will be treated as private data members of Foo for the purpose of name checking and thus no warnings will be emitted.

The default mapping table of Hungarian Notation#

In Hungarian notation, a variable name starts with a group of lower-case letters which are mnemonics for the type or purpose of that variable, followed by whatever name the programmer has chosen; this last part is sometimes distinguished as the given name. The first character of the given name can be capitalized to separate it from the type indicators (see also CamelCase). Otherwise the case of this character denotes scope.

The following table maps type names to their default Hungarian notation prefixes. You can define custom mappings in the configuration file.
