CCoding Style - Use descriptive names for globals
From EdWiki
Use descriptive names for globals
- Global variables, by definition, can crop up any where in a program, so they need names long and descriptive enough to remind the reader of their meaning.
- It’s also helpful to include a brief comment with the declaration of each global variable.
int npending = 0; // current length of input queue
- Global functions, classes, and structures should also have descriptive names that suggest their role in a program.
