I don't see any reason it wouldn't work if you capitalize variable names. In fact, I highly recommend using some sort of mixed case or underscores to separate words in variables for readability.

I personally am a fan of capitalizing the first letter of a variable name to indicate it is a variable, and naming all macros in all capitals with underscores separating words to differentiate them.

I've also seen incredibly structured variable naming methods that define everything about a variable in the name. For example, using three to six letter module name prefixes, and coding the type or units in (e.g. p for pressure, or kpa for kilopascals), or type of variable (e.g. m for map, c for calibration, etc.) and these work as well.

It's really all personal preference, as long as you are consistent the compiler really doesn't care at all.
