I was wondering if there is any kind of logic for when a struct element should start with x_ and when it shouldn't. Here's the struct from a new object I am working on:

typedef struct _usbhid { t_object x_obj; /* usbhid types */ HIDInterface *x_hidinterface; u_int8_t x_iSerialNumber; hid_return x_hid_return; /* internal state */ unsigned int debug_level; // control debug messages to the console t_int x_device_number; t_int x_read_element_count; t_int *x_read_elements; t_int x_write_element_count; t_int *x_write_elements; t_int report_size; // size in bytes of the HID report /* output */ t_atom *output; // holder for a list of atoms to be outputted t_int output_count; // number of atoms in in x->output t_outlet *x_data_outlet; t_outlet *x_status_outlet; } t_usbhid;

Which elements should start with "x_" and which shouldn't?
