leading underscores..

[Stephen Adler]

Guys,

This is a programing question, so I hope you guys don't mind my posting 
to this mailing list.

I've run across an issue about using underscores in variable names. I've 
been writing software
under linux for the past 15 years and I've gotten into the habit of 
using underscores in my
variables names for priviate variables in a class. I tried to compile my 
code on Solaris
10 x86 using the gnu compiler and it threw errors because the compiler 
didn't like the
leading underscore. Does anyone have any comments on this? If a leading 
underscore
is not used to private variable and functions in classes, what the 
coding standard to indicate
the variable belongs to the class your coding?

thanks. Steve.
