Re: [Moose-g3-devel] variables with appended underscore

[Upinder S. B. <bh...@nc...>]

Hi, Greg,
   Yes, this is a bit confusing. I haven't really prioritized it, but it
should be possible to massage the preprocessor to deal with these
cases. The reasoning goes like this: All private variables have an
appended underscore. Public field names (which may be associated with a
private variable) do not. However, in the preprocessor .mh file we
sometimes need to define operations on private variables. At this point
the preprocessor just lets those lines through into the generated
files, so we end up using a mix of Vm and Vm_ variable names. It is
easy to keep track of if you remember when you are writing a function
that talks to the private fields.

Hope this helps,
   Upi
