In a number of cases I have found pairs of functions with similar
names, where one is lower case with underscores ("foo_bar") and the
other is camel case ("fooBar"). One way or another they execute
the same underlying code, so they are effectively just different
spellings of the same function.
For example, in osrf_app_session.c, osrfAppSessionMakeLocaleRequest
simply passes all of its arguments to osrf_app_session_make_locale_req
and returns the result.
My guess is that these redundancies reflect an incomplete transition
to a consistent naming convention. However I can't guess which
convention is preferred and which is deprecated. If you'll tell me
which is which, I can add this cleanup to my janitorial agenda.
Exactly... It was an incomplete transition to the camelcase
(osrfAppSessionMakeLocalRequest) style of function names. Naturally, it
wasn't terribly high on the priority list.
Or maybe you'd rather I left things alone.
Never! ;)
Thanks, Scott.
