[PATCH] D57896: Variable names rule

[MyDeveloperDay via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

MyDeveloperDay added a comment.

> Sounds good to me. I see that you've made D57966 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57966> a child of this issue, but we could swap the dependency around so that once your patch is applied I can update this patch to use `camelBackOrCase`.

I'm OK if we want to do that, but its very much a circular dependency, I don't want to land D57966: [clang-tidy] add camelBackOrCase casing style to readability-identifier-naming to support change to variable naming policy (if adopted) <https://reviews.llvm.org/D57966>, unless this whole variableName suggestion is accepted (which I think is a good idea).. I think your suggestion warrants being the driver, lets do the clang-tidy change and subsequent .clang-tidy changes on another revision post acceptance of both.

FWIW, I agree with the comments that the function name should be differentiated from the variable by the use of a verbs, I've spent too much time in my career grepping for the work `type` in code

  Type type = type();

I think

  Type type = getType();

or

  Type objectType = getType();

adds some increased levels of clarity.
