How to name own structures?

[forumuser]

Hi,

The Windows API normally uses something like:
_SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFO

Does it matter how I name my own structures (normally inside a module) or better:
What happens if I accidentally use the same name as a Windows API structure
(but with a completely different content)? Do they "conflict"?

You can use your own name for the usage:

Code: Select all

Define YourOwnName._SYSTEM_PROCESS_INFO

Debug YourOwnName\...

What happens if I accidentally use the same name as a Windows API structure

Then there is a compiler error. PB tells you it's not possible:

Line x: Structure already declared: xxx (in a resident file).

Thank you, RSBasic!
