I guess in JAVA it would be considered good style. This is "Enterprise Quality" in the derogatory sense of the term. The prefix makes everything too long and doesn't add any value. We don't keep the 80 character limit because of small screens, we keep it to discourage this type of code. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
