OpenGL variable names

G’day all,

This is a bit of a quick and silly amateur question, but what sort of conventions (if any) do you follow when naming uniforms in OpenGL shaders, and their respective handles in your program?

For example, I have uniforms in my shader named “gScale” and “vineRotation”. Their handles in my program are called “gScaleHandle” and “vineRotationHandle” respectively. The whole “somethingHandle” seems a bit long and cumbersome. I’ve seen other people prefixing things with ‘m’ and ‘h’ etc.; is that the generally accepted way to do things?

Cheers,
nerb.
