Some time last year I ran accross an unusual naming convention for variables in C. Each name included an identifier for the type of variable. This seems like it would be useful for a project I am doing, where there is a significant chance of accidentally mixing up types during assignments. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the convention is called, or exactly how it is used. I could come up with my own format, but would prefer not to re-invent the wheel. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks. [bk]
