The first purpose of the patch was to remove collisions from shadow global variable names.
The second was not to change the semantics of variable names, hence the use of x or putting or remove underscore.
But I agree with you that the choice of names can improve.
xcheckpoint sounds ugly.
stopt sounds ugly too.
>Random places remove perfectly good prefixes and replace with single letters >(numTables to nTables)
numTables already a global variable name.
nTables It seems very reasonable to me to contain the number of tables.
>Random places switch from lower case names to upper case names (sentPtr to >WalSentPtr) most places leave lower case
names(days to ndays).
again senPtr already a global variable name.
Well, I tried to follow the local source style a little, since the project does not have a default for global names.
There we have some WalSntCtl por example.
ndays sounds very good to me for number of days.
>Please at least be consistent within the patch itself.....
I'm trying.
