[Bf-committers] Naming rules

[bf-committers@blender.org]

When I was ported Blender for MorphOS, I've found some naming pb with 2 
typedef: Object & Library. I've resolved the pb but it's not a clean 
solution :-(

This two names are very common and may be used in internal by system (like 
Morphos).
So, for the "system independance" issue, why not using a naming rules as 
the following one:

for public name:
        <component>_xxxx        ex: BLI_exit()

for local or static name:
        <prefix>_<component>_xxx

where prefix may be:
        p       pointer
        k       constant
        l       locale to a component
        s       static
        v       variable
        f       function
        e       enumeration
        s       structure
        u       union
        no prefix       loop indice (i,j,k,...)

With this, public names doesn't overwrite system names
