Description

The code (Java and C++) spit out by the Record I/O compiler contains variables. We need to make sure these variable names don't clash with names used by users in the DDL, otherwise the generated code will not compile. Variable names such as 'a', 'peer', etc, are used. We need better names. For example, if I have a DDL of the form

class s1 {
  int a;
  boolean peer;
  int a_;
}

Both the Java and C++ code will not compile.
