You gave me a list. I need a rule! Is the rule for setting and getting a ABasenameXXXX from a BBasename object BBasenameGet/SetXXX() rather than BBasenameGet/SetABasenameXXX()? Where ABasename sometimes is the same as BBasename but need not be.

Sounds good to me.

This is a reasonable rule to propose, appears to be mostly what we have done, it needs to be documented in the developers manual and any fixes made to the code. I am fine with it.

Note: There is a bit of difference between, for example, MatGetNullSpace() where the alternative is MatGetMatNullSpace() and MatGetLocalToGlobalMapping() versuse MatGetISLocalToGlobalMapping() since the in first case ABasename == BBasename while in the second it does not.

We repeated the IS part in some related API at one point, but it spills over 31 characters and I don't think it communicates useful information.

A part of me wants to keep the A/BBasename but in the usual case it is redundant and wordy and we haven't kept it anyways in the past. Note: if we had a really really good pretty printer I could have it always presented in my Emacs buffers with the wordiness :-)

I believe this will do that: $ cat >> .git/info/attributes <<EOF *.c filter=barry *.h filter=barry EOF $ git config filter.barry.clean '!sed s/MatGetMatNullSpace/MatGetNullSpace/g' $ git config filter.barry.smudge '!sed s/MatGetNullSpace/MatGetMatNullSpace/g' I do not recommend doing this.
