Be careful out there

[Andrew Fenn]

Actually I wanted to ask a question about this..

When implementing an API do we have to change the variable names from
those given in the msdn documentation?

More specifically, the typedefs for the xinput structs ( documentation
here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb173049(VS.85).aspx ).
Do I have the change the names of these or can I just keep them the
same?

Regards,
Andrew
