Hi! Near the beginning of the "function" function in the NetBSD source code style guide https://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/misc/style?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup it says the following: Avoid initializing variables in the declarations; move declarations next to their first use, and initialize opportunistically. This avoids over-initialization and accidental bugs caused by declaration reordering. Is that a typo in the first sentence; should "move declarations" be "move initializations"? I ask because all of the example functions in the style guide seem to have the variable declarations at the beginning of the function, not next to their first use. Thanks! Lewis
