Hi,

Yes, I do need to revert that change.  Thanks.  In fact,
gnc_account_get_full_name() just calls xaccAccountGetFullName().

Yes, I've seen that as well and I wondered why this is the case.

Any
reason I shouldn't go through all of the code and change xaccAccountXXX to
gnc_account_XXX (and Trans and SchedXaction and Split and ...) and give us
standardized naming for 2.4?

If you make sure you catch really all places, even those which you don't
compile due to your particular ./configure switches, then indeed feel free to
change those names.

Just be careful about doing this wholesale.  There are places where
we have both xaccFooXXX and gnc_foo_xxx functions and they perform
different operations.  So make sure the target function does not exist
before you rename.

Also keep in mind you'll need to update the swig files, and all the scheme
code..  and that gnc_foo_xxx is gnc-foo-xxx in scheme.

I'm just concerned that this is a bit late in the 2.4 release cycle to
do this change.  Had you proposed it before 2.3.0 then I think it would've
been fine, but it will take time to discover broken scheme.

Note that I'm not against this change, just concerned about the timing
and want to make sure you don't shoot yourself in the foot along the way.
:-D

Regards,

Christian
