This has been discussed many times. It is more logical to do "char* variable", since "variable" is the name and "char*" is the type. We all know about the case you point out, but this listing of variable names is forbidden in our coding style anyways. You have to do this: char* variable1; char variable2; > > * don't use ", fMyMember(...)" initializers (my greetings to Stippi ;- > > )), but "fMyMember(...)," > > I agree on that one, too. I will be able to live with it. It is what I used to do before I saw Marcus doing the ", fMyMember(...)" thing, which I since find more practical and less likely to cause compile time errors when I rearrange stuff. It also looks better in diffs. But what the heck... if it means so much to Axel... :-) Best regards, -Stephan
