Which naming convention should I use for a struct? [closed]

Question

In plain C, I will name a struct like this:

struct MyStruct
{
    int something;
};

But, since I'm now programming under Windows, I want my code to be very consistent in which refers to naming conventions. So, my variables are now named using mixedCase instead of lower_case and my functions are now using CapWords. I have seen some structs with all capital letters, but I don't like this very much because I reserve that for constants and macros.

Thanks.

Check out this link if you want a reference on Naming Conventions in C.

As long as you're consistent with using CamelCase of under_score conventions for whatever purpose, it doesn't really matter.
