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; ? -- Steve
