[llvm-dev] RFC: changing variable naming rules in LLVM codebase

[Philip Reames via llvm-dev]

I don't care about the convention, but I'm really not sure it's worth 
the churn which would result in the code base.  The hurtle which needs 
cleared here is not "is it a better naming style", but "is the 
disruption implied by changing to the new convention justified".  To be 
clear, not opposed, just hesitant.
