 authoring and uploading a patch. LLDB differs from the LLVM Developer
 Policy in the following respects.
 
- - **Test infrastructure**: Like LLVM it is  important to submit tests with your
-   patches, but note that LLDB uses a different system for tests. Refer to the
-   `test documentation <test.html>`_ for more details and the ``lldb/test``
-   folder on disk for examples.

- - **Coding Style**: LLDB's code style differs from
-   `LLVM's coding style <https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html>`_.
-   Unfortunately there is no document describing the differences. Please be
-   consistent with the existing code.

+Coding Style
+++++++++++++
+
+LLDB's code style differs from `LLVM's coding style <https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html>`_
+in a few ways. The 2 main ones are:
+
+* `Variable and function naming <https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#name-types-functions-variables-and-enumerators-properly>`_:
+
+  * Variables are ``snake_case``.
+
+  * Functions and methods are ``UpperCamelCase``.
+
+  * Static, global and member variables have ``s_``, ``g_`` and ``_m``
