My personal take:
I slightly Hungarian notation and it seems to me like needing that extra

from it would be a chaotic mess for GDAL. It would be a massive change to
switch it all. Consistency is critical.

I'd probably agree that at my beginnings in GDAL, I
Hi Andrew,
I think GDAL uses a mix of styles, but if you dislike Hungarian notation, it's
still important to distinguish between "systems" (e.g. dwBytes) and "apps"
(e.g. cchWideChar) notation.
The first one just repeats the variable type, which is mostly redundant, but
the second actually
Hi,
I was going to make some changes to some GDAL code and I generally want to
follow along. I see that most of the code is still using Hungarian notation
for identifier names. I haven't seen this anywhere else in like 20 years.
Is it OK to submit code without this naming convention or do we
