MySql coding style: Request for deprecation of UPPERCASE typedefs

[Tor Didriksen]

hi

"Structure types are typedef'ed to an all-upper-case identifier."
Can someone explain the reasoning behind this?
ALL_UPPERCASE_NAME says DANGEROUS_THIS_IS_A_MACRO to me, rather than
struct/class.

typedef struct foo { ... } FOO;
Is legacy C-style, and does not belong in a C++ style guide (imho).

Roy had an email about this:

I could find no objections to his mail, the thread simply died.
