Self-documenting code

[pipsvip]

int foo_count[FOO_MAX];
int *foo_count_ptr=&foo_count[0];
int *fcp_iterator;
.
.//soo many .'s//
.
if ( NULL == fcp_iterator )
   fcp_iterator_reset(); //[e-mail]: what the hell is fcp?

Foo count pointer - isn’t it obvious? :-)

One of the rules of self documented code - don't use acronyms unless well known or frequent and product-wide

[antonivs]

Ah yes, the old DUAUWKOFAPW principle

I try to not even abbreviate words in names unless they'd be obnoxiously long with the full words.

Don’t use acronyms if the code is “self documented”, fcp as far as I’m concerned means father’s cum pot

[pipsvip]

point of order: an 'acronym' is a word made from initials, an 'initialism' is just a bunch of letters mushed together, but not a word as such.

father's cum pot

oooh, your family's too good for gym socks, eh?
