[LLVMdev] lld coding style (original) (raw)

I'm not sure the LLD style is appropriate either, as Chandler points out earlier starting variables with underscores is too close to underfined behavior. I might actually propose adopting lldb's style of an m_ prefix for members, g_ prefix for globals, and no_prefix for everything else. LLDB is going to be your hardest sell on migrating towards LLVM coding standards, so migrating towards them will at least help close the gap, and possible make it easier to get LLDB members to agree to migrate towards LLVM on other points.

Yes, I think this is reasonable: I care primarily about consistency, not about which option is picked. Please start a thread, proposing that we change the LLVM style to follow the LLD style (and outline the pros and cons of the style). If the community decides that changing LLVM/Clang to follow LLD is the right thing to do, than so be it. Until we get consensus, I agree that it makes sense to hold off on renaming the world in LLD. -Chris
