Slice identifiers map to an identical C# identifier. For example, the Slice identifier Clock becomes the C# identifier
Clock. If a Slice identifier is the same as a C# keyword, the corresponding C# identifier is a
verbatim identifier (an identifier prefixed with
@). For example, the Slice identifier
while is mapped as
@while.

The Slice-to-C# compiler generates classes that inherit from interfaces or base classes in the .NET framework. These interfaces and classes introduce a number of methods into derived classes. To avoid name clashes between Slice identifiers that happen to be the same as an inherited method, such identifiers are prefixed with
ice_ and suffixed with
_ in the generated code. For example, the Slice identifier
Clone maps to the C# identifier
ice_Clone_ if it would clash with an inherited
Clone. The complete list of identifiers that are so changed is:
Note that Slice identifiers in this list are translated to the corresponding C# identifier only where necessary. For example, structures do not derive from
ICloneable, so if a Slice structure contains a member named
Clone, the corresponding C# structure’s member is named
Clone as well. On the other hand, classes do derive from
ICloneable, so, if a Slice class contains a member named
Clone, the corresponding C# class’s member is named
ice_Clone_.
