If used consistently, it indicates that you are dealing with a member. I personally prefer `this->` over `m_`. With semantic syntax highlighting you probably don't need either of them. But then again, you often look at code that does not have semantic highlighting (eg. inside diffs). -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
