Poll: Should underscore prefixing of non-public elements be dropped?

[weierophinney]

ZF Coding Standards are based on PEAR's CS. That standard was developed
first by Horde, then expanded by PEAR, during the PHP 4 lifecycle. PHP 4
had no concept of visibility in its object model; to provide some
pseudo-visibility, PEAR CS mandated that members considered non-public
should be prefixed with an underscore.

With the advent of PHP 5, PHP's object model received visibility
operators in the form of private, protected, and public. Applying PEAR
CS to PHP 5 code meant that if you marked a member as private or
protected, you would also prefix with the underscore. Many have felt
this is redundant, and also that it makes refactoring more difficult
(changes in visibility often mean renaming the members). Proponents of
the standard, however, argue that the leading underscore leads to easier
maintenance of the code -- you know immediately what the visibility of
the member you're dealing with is just by looking at it.

PEAR2 has decided to eschew the underscore prefix:

    http://wiki.pear.php.net/index.php/MeetingMinutes20080824#Underscore_prefix_on_private_.28protected.3F.29

Basically, this rule is no longer required (as it was in PEAR1), though
developers may choose to use them.

What is YOUR opinion? Should the underscore be dropped in ZF2?
Please vote!

Please do _not_ reply to this thread -- the arguments for and against
are well known at this time -- we're simply trying to decide on whether
or not to amend the coding standards for ZF2.

Thanks!

There are currently 381 responses:

 * 57% vote "Yes" (to remove the underscores)
 * 38% vote "No" (to retain underscores)
 * 4%  vote "No opinion"

What has been interesting is that the percentages have remained
consistent from the outset -- I expected more deviation. What is also
interesting is that there is no real clear majority. Typically, I like
to see a 2/3 vote to feel comfortable that the change is widely
accepted, but that is not the case at this time.

Wow, I expected better score for "Yes"!

What will be the final decision if score remain consistent till the end?

I only for myself:
I was the first one replying your email of "General inclinations
regarding prefixing non-public members?" with "No underscore".
But I did not participate your poll for I really don't understand your
intention of creating a poll after you had that email and so many
people already responded.

BTW, I would like to let you know that the vote link is blocked in my
country in case you don't think votes from my country don't make
difference.

Presumably the poll was held was to gauge support among framework users and not just members of the contributor mailing list. That the poll is blocked in your country may be either the poll host or the URL shortener service. Doubt it was intentional! ;)

Because it's one thing to ask contributors, and another entirely to
poll the general community. While this decision would primarily affect
contributors, it also affects anyone who extends ZF classes, as well as
those who adopt the ZF coding standards. As such, it's important to get
a broader viewpoint.

If you had feedback on the mailing list, I encourage you to also vote in
the poll.

Can you try going to the canonical URL, then:

    https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEZOTGpMdjhzZDlmZGNMZVF0WnFTV2c6MQ

If you cannot reach that, let me know.

Hello,

Does elimination of underscores corresponds only to protected or private too?
Because IMHO underscores should be removed from protected methods only.
So private should have one underscore prefix. Such convention will allow to:

1. Absolutely clearly see that method is not a magic one (silly, but
still good point)
2. Have private and protected method doing something with similar name but
different scopes:

class MyClass
{
    private function _doSomething()
    { /* ... */ }

    protected function doSomething()
    {
        // protected doSomething mangling some results by default
        return strtolower($this->_doSomething());
    }

    private function _doSomethingThatDataSensitive()
    {
        $data = $this->_doSomething();
    }
}


But I mght be wrong and this will just make rules too complex. Anyway I vote for
underscores removal :))

Hi,

Having methods with the same name but prefixed differently is a very bad idea. I cannot stress this enough. From such a nomenclature abuse rises confusion and bad design decisions. At any moment, if you feel this is necessary, you should reconsider how you organize your methods and how you build your class. Uncle Bob's SOLID principles are a good start.

NABN.

This also includes for example __set (double underscore used exclusively
for magic methods) which IMHO is not a problem.

Providing of course, that we do not define non-magic methods with
double-underscore prefix and do not expect users to call these methods
directly. This should be a clear coding standards guideline, if it isn't.

Shahar.

  I think using the _ prefix helps on quicker identifying public vs
non-public so i am for keeping them.

I can supply the script I used to create this list if anyone is interested.

Hello Bill

As a lot of people will most probably have to refactor their entire
code base, I think it would be of great help to the community, if you
publish your script. Even better, has someone written a script to
rename underscored protected and private methods and properties to
their non-underscored counterpart?

[cbichis]

I mean when i am digging a specific class trying to understand how things are working. Checking classes itself are the best documentation for ZF.

Sometime i am using just a basic notepad++ for things like this (don't need entire editor because i don't actually edit them ;) )...

Is a very small advantage, yes...

How do you mean quicker? If you are using IDE you just look for appropriate color mark in outline view. If you are using editor, you are in same trouble with or without prefixes, manually looking through the code.

Saša Stamenković
