The common style is to use all-caps for constants and macros.
Function name styles differ:
leading word starts lowercase followed by Capitalized words:
thisIsMyFunction
same thing, using underscores:
this_Was_My_Function
starting with Captials:
ThisIsAnotherFunction
This_May_Be_More_Readable
as you suggested:
anansicfunction
another_ansi_function
However, most all good coding styles don't permit function names
to start with '_' (underscores) as these are reserved for
implementations.
This is a religous issue: all a matter of faith. As long as you
are consistent and the names are readble, any style will do. Just
as there is no best religion, there is no best coding style.
