Hi,

This is described in https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc8_devguide.html . I've submitted https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/9689 so it is going to be linked to https://gdal.org/development/dev_practices.html#making-changes-to-gdal

I'd probably agree that at my beginnings in GDAL, I might have felt unfamiliar with the Hungarian notation, but now I've fully internalized it, so I hardly notice it. It would be interesting to have opinions of other developers if they find it inconvenient/a hurdle, are neutral or like it.  The thing is that if we decide to no longer use it, the inconsistency of mixing free style naming and Hungarian notation might be problematic and make code confusing. We should probably aim at being consistent at least at the scope of a given function or file.

Hi,

I was going to make some changes to some GDAL code and I generally want to follow along. I see that most of the code is still using Hungarian notation for identifier names. I haven't seen this anywhere else in like 20 years.

Is it OK to submit code without this naming convention or do we still think it's important. I didn't see an RFC or documentation that covers this, but there's lots so I may have missed it.

Thanks,
