The sub-namespace names are in lowercase and use underscore separators. E.g. `Gudhi::package_name::` +* Concepts are named with camel case starting with uppercase. E.g. `PersistentHomology` for the concept of Persitence homology. +* Classes start with an uppercase letter and use underscore separators. E.g. `Skeleton_blocker_contractor`. +* Member functions and free functions are in lowercase and use underscore separators. E.g. `int num_vertices()`. +* Constants and macros are in uppercase. +* Macros should begin with the prefix `GUDHI_`. + +### File names: +* All headers are named *.h and all sources are named *.cpp. +* If a single class or function is provided in a file, its name (with the same letter case) should be used for the file name. +* If a file does not contain a single class, its name should not begin with a capital letter. +* Test files should be called `test_[what_is_tested].cpp`.
