Comment(by x-ist):
Replying to [comment:7 phoudoin]:
> I'm against: all USB definitions are from external specifiers, either
USB-IF or vendors. Neither Be Inc at his time neither us can influence USB
standards specification. We made some effort to keep these definitions
names from being as crypted as seen on other platforms, witch is great,
but prefixing with B_ wont add any value but could make someone think it's
specific to BeOS/Haiku.
That's my opinion too.
> On the other side, I'm for having one single prefix for every USB
constants in our USB_*.h, which we don't have yet. Same should applied for
typenames too (usb_*).
IMO, when working with USB one definitely knows about HID,
such that using {{{USB_}}} wouldn't povide more meaning to the name.
Here is an example of a name lend from the spec as is, with alternative
prefixes:
{{{HID_UID_WD_SCALE_STATUS_STABLE_AT_CENTER_OF_ZERO}}}
{{{B_HID_UID_WD_SCALE_STATUS_STABLE_AT_CENTER_OF_ZERO}}}
{{{USB_HID_UID_WD_SCALE_STATUS_STABLE_AT_CENTER_OF_ZERO}}}
Even without the {{{USB_}}} there is a bunch of prefixes and
I would try to keep the prefixes smaller than the name though :-)
Are there more points of view?
