I have noticed two different coding conventions being followed in
postgres code base.
See e.g. function names in syslogger.c
static void set_next_rotation_time(void);
static void sigHupHandler(SIGNAL_ARGS);
and variable names in the same file
int bytes_in_logbuffer = 0;
char *currentLogDir;
Chapter 46 of the documentation does not say much about variable or
function naming.
While writing code or reviewing a path are we supposed to consider the
camel cased names correct or the under-score separated names correct?
Both styles are in use in different parts of the source tree, mainly for
historical reasons. The rule of thumb is to see what style is used in
the surrounding code, and follow that.
