Tracker: Bugs
I suggest to try the search pattern "_+[A-Z]+" on the source files. You
will find a some places where names begin with an underscore and an
uppercase letter.
Examples:
- _EXT2FS_EXT2FS_H
http://git.kernel.org/?p=fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git;a=blob;f=lib/ext2fs/ext2fs.h
;h=5c3d17f642d5f21ec73165cedd7a7920e33156d2;hb=HEAD
- _UUID_UUIDD_H
http://git.kernel.org/?p=fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git;a=blob;f=lib/uuid/uuidd.h;h=
c71f4b788352373edc41a58f8f8f7bde7853da14;hb=HEAD#l35
This does not fit to the expected naming conventions of the C language
standard.
