We all have preferences. But for code that I need to review, I prefer
it.
Why would you be bothered by it? Which is easier on the eyes to read
variables?
struct xbc_node *leaf, *vnode;
const char *val;
char q;
char *key, *end = dst + size;
int ret = 0;
or
struct xbc_node *leaf, *vnode;
char *key, *end = dst + size;
const char *val;
char q;
int ret = 0;
?
