[llvm-dev] RFC: changing variable naming rules in LLVM codebase
Hi all, I wrote a tool <https://reviews.llvm.org/D64123> to batch-rename variable names so that they are in camelCase, and I applied the tool to lld subdirectory. You can see my change at https://reviews.llvm.org/D64121. If you have any comments, please reply. If people are happy about this change, I can do the same thing for other directories including LLVM itself and Clang.
