I believe that t is for type. The same goes for types such as time_t. The
size
part of the name is probably meant to be short for either word size or
pointer
size.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with size_t and see no reason to change
it. If
it were a particularly bad name and there was a good suggestion for a
replacement, then perhaps I'd support changing it. But I see nothing
wrong with
size_t at all.
So it's (modified) hungarian notation? Didn't that go out with boy bands,
Matrix spoofs and dancing CG babies?
How is it hungarian notation? Hungarian notation puts the type of the variable
in the name. size_t _is_ the type. I don't see any relation to hungarian
notation. And I'm pretty sure that size_t predates the invention of hungarian
notation by a fair margin anyway.
size_t is not the type of size_t ;-)
For sure it is Hungarian notation. What is the type of size_t? Type (at least
conceptually, even if D does not have live type elements). Just what the name says.
