The basic reason that I remember for sticking with ap_ what that it reduced confusion; you don't have to remember whether a function was an ap_ or an apr_ function. Also, the namespaces shouldn't be seperate, because it would get very confusing to have both ap_blah and apr_blah in the source tree. Now, I personally preferred apr_, mainly because switching from two namespaces to one is easy, while switching later from one to two is harder. But, I think it's a bad thing to have all these functions changing names every few months on a whim. > % ls -l diff.txt > -rw-r--r-- 1 dougm users 1249609 Aug 1 00:06 diff.txt > > so, one last chance for anyone to veto this change, otherwise i'll commit > late tommorrow night. -1 (with no veto, though I did consider it), for the reason I stated above. I'd prefer to see someone who was pro-ap_ say that he has changed his mind; otherwise we're just switching because certain people aren't paying attention at the moment.
