You can take your snark up with GCC, and leave me out of it:

- quelltext 7y agoI think they may have simple misunderstood what your example was about (G, not asm(...)). On the other hand their criticism contradicts their earlier point about widely used public/stdlib function names best having short names.
- marcosdumay 7y agoWidely used libraries have one more constraint, in that they will always be used a lot, but they'll never be the most used things on any code base. As a consequence, they shouldn't use very short names. They should let the 1-3 letter names available for local code. (But there are exceptions, of course. There always are.)
