The C sources are quite baroque as well -- inconsistent naming, lots of repetition. Things that could have been neatly done with a lookup table are coded into enormous repetitive switch statements. No goto for error handling, hence a repetition of the same error handling code before each return. If you want to see examples of consistent and disciplined C programming, look at Git and Nginx.
