<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Some new C files in (say) fileio and timing modules have underscores. The new C++ files tend to be named according to a major class that they implement, which are also not named with delimiters. Not needing to interrupt keyboard flow with shift-minus is a small advantage, but I would prefer readability over that! Different people's brains work differently, too!<div>
<br></div><div>I'm happy with any name so long as un-delimited concatenation is at most about three words (for readability), and does not prefix gmx or a module name without due reason.

<br>
It has recently come up that the direction 5.0 is moving toward is no<br>
delimiters in file names, i.e. no underscores.<br>
<br>
I personally think no delimiters is detrimental (unless one uses DOS).<br>
Just compare the readability of<br>
gmx_detect_hardware.c vs gmxdetecthardware.c<br>
or<br>
nbnxn_cuda_kernel_utils.cuh vs nbnxncudakernelutils.cuh<br>
<br>
I'm not saying that somebody should change/fix this ASAP, but it may<br>
be worth considering whether this is really what we want.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
