Slice identifiers map to an identical C++ identifier. For example, the Slice identifier
Clock becomes the C++ identifier
Clock. There is one exception to this rule: if a Slice identifier is the same as a C++ keyword, the corresponding C++ identifier is prefixed with
_cpp_. For example, the Slice identifier
while is mapped as
_cpp_while.

A single Slice identifier often results in several C++ identifiers. For example, for a Slice interface named
Foo, the generated C++ code uses the identifiers
Foo and
FooPrx (among others). If the interface has the name
while, the generated identifiers are
_cpp_while and
whilePrx (
not _cpp_whilePrx), that is, the prefix is applied only to those generated identifiers that actually require it.
