    WEllllll, for a modern language, I would expect CopyObjectArrayToRecord(object[], record) But, if I were in C (and not C++), I would fully expect it to be CopyObjectArrayToRecord(record*, object*), or more likely objrecncpy :) - Phil

    All programming languages are "modern", we aren't talking about ancient arimaic or something :) int IfItAnitBroke(void[] *, void[] *) // todo make obscure as hell so nobody copies my idea

      I want to know what makes most sense for developers: Before you arm yourself and point it to be a programming question let me say that this is not a programming question. I have a function named CopyObjectArrayToRecord, it takes two parameters: an object array and a record. Just based on the name what do you expect the order of parameters to be: 1. array, record 2. record, array

      1 makes the most sense, but the thing is written wrong in the first place. It should be: Array.CopyTo(Record r) and/or: Record.CopyFrom(Array a)

        Ahhh, the little-endian/big-endian question again. Doesn't really matter what the order is. However, your department should pick one -endian naming convention and stick to it. Cheers, Owen

          I expect #1. What makes most sense is to never allow a developer to make this decision in the first place. Class Record Copy(array) Parameter lists are evil, period.

            1. array, record ... dunno why but I always expect source before destination.

                What about make the whole signature (parameters names too) tell about semantic? CopyTo( Object[] source, Record destination ) This can be lighter to use: array.CopyTo( record ) my fear is that people tend abuse naming, I saw around names like: CopyFirstObjectArrayParameterToSecondRecordParameter :wtf:

                    As long as the types are different and the parameter names are sufficiently descriptive, I don't think it matters.

                        It's "believe", not "belive". Your name is massive AND a typo!
