<div dir="ltr"><div>It is unfortunate that we are using a different coding scheme for LLD than LLVM, but I'm leaning toward the view that switching to LLVM style will cost too much if it means we are going to lose virtually all commit history. A patch to switch to LLVM style would rename all local and member variables, so it would touch all the lines. Diff is not powerful enough to trace the history beyond variable renaming. svn blame would become useless.</div><div><br></div><div>I have no strong opinion on this.

</span>One particular feature of lld's current style is particularly dodgy:<br>
starting member variables with '_' makes undefined behaviour very easy<br>
to introduce (if the first real char is upper case; there's already<br>
plenty of examples).<br>
<br>
It's one of the more innocuous forms of UB, but still bad form for an<br>
LLVM project. If even we can't get it right...<br>
