Comment: fixed DCL30-CPP to DCL32-CPP in Risk Assessment

Wiki Markup
The C+\+ Standard \[[ISO/IEC 14882-2003|AA. C++ References#ISO/IEC 14882-2003]\] Section 17.4.3.1.2, "Global names" says: "Each name that contains a double underscore (\_ \_) or begins with an underscore followed by an uppercase letter is reserved to the implementation for any use."  Trying to use a name of this form may lead to that name conflicting with one used by the implementation, with unpredictable results that may, but may not, be detected at compile time.

...

In this example, an object is defined with a name that is reserved for the implementation.

Code Block
bgColor#FFCCCC

int _Page_Count;
// ...

Compliant Solution

To correct this error, use names not beginning with an underscore followed by an uppercase letter and not containing a double underscore.

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff

int PageCount;
