Constant name structure

Constant Name Structure

Description

Constant shall be in uppercase letters and start or end with specific character _c, c_, Const_.

The rule parameter describes the desired prefix (if its ends with a _ character) or suffix (if it starts with a _ character). Default value is _c.

Rationale

This enhances the readability of a model through homogeneous naming.

Verification

The rule registers to constants and raises a violation when:

• The name does not match the expected prefix

  Message: Constant name does not start with <prefix>

• The name does not match the expected suffix

  Message: Constant name does not end with <suffix>

• The name is not in capital letters

  Message: Constant is not in capital letters

Resolution

Rename the offending constant.
