Variable Prefix and Postfix - More dynamic

[isaac-mercieca]

I have just started to introduce this static code analysis tool to a project which follows certain conventions such as a prefix to each variable name depending on the type for instance string variables are prefixed with 'str'. I know that this can be done by creating a custom rule. However, I was wondering if it would be useful to the project and also possible to make this rule parameter and thus including a new dynamic feature.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about "Hungarian notation"?

[isaac-mercieca]

Yes or more less it is very similar. As by making this more dynamic one can enforce certain naming conventions.

I believe this should work for you now. You can set up the RequiredVariableNamePrefix parameter for the Variable name checker, or pass
-DVariableNameChecker.RequiredVariableNamePrefix=str,b,etc

on the command line
