I’m thinking about this:
Is it common to, for instance, write macros to create an alias to functions, variables, or any other element coming from a third party library that does not use your naming convention?.
If yes, what is the best way to do it, just writing macros?
“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”. Stop worrying so much about the naming convention – enforce it within the project, sure, but don’t make third-party libraries conform to it.
Infact, the small differences could be useful in helping the reader see what kind of code they are dealing with at a glance.
