Quoting Brandon Van Every <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have to admit, PARENT_SCOPE nomenclature bugs me. I don't know of any mainstream programming language that explicitly asks me to think about scope when setting a variable.
Ruby asks. But it does so in a so nicely and clear way that you actually like it because code is more readable.
As a reminder, here comes the nomenclature in Ruby: Scope Prefix Example ----- ------ ------- global variable $ $global instance variable @ @instance local variable lowercase or _ local constant uppercase Constant class variable @@ @@class_var -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
