[webkit-dev] Naming scheme for fooIfExists/ensureFoo - Round 2

Hi all, We discussed this topic 11 years ago in https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-June/025056.html but we seem to have never codified it in our coding style guideline. It really bothers me that we have a mixture of two styles so I’d like to propose that we pick one style and put that into style guideline & style checker. The question is as follows. A pair of functions which lazily construct an object and one which returns nullptr if the object had not already been constructed can be named: StyleResolver* styleResolver(); StyleResolver& ensureStyleResolver(); or: StyleResolver* styleResolverIfExists(); StyleResolver& styleResolver(); Which one should we use? - R.
