glEGLImageTargetRenderbufferStorageOES

They capitalized Render but not buffer. Also: what does this even mean?

readExceptionWithOperationApplicationExceptionFromParcel
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/Data...
Do they really need to put the word Exception in this name twice?

getGestureStrokeSquarenessTreshold

What's a Treshold? (Yes, that's how they spelled it).

Ok, so the standard way they spell it is N-U-L. One L: getAllButNulLegal
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/UrlQueryS...
But wait: readMessengerOrNullFromParcel
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Messenger....

Ok, so the standard way they spell it is C-A-N-C-E-L-E-D. One L: registerOnLoadCanceledListener
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/co...
But wait: onGestureCancelled
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/gesture/Gestu...

There's also this: http://blog.danlew.net/2015/04/18/is-your-user-a-goat/
2) NUL is a character, while NULL is a pointer. These APIs are using the correct name for each scenario.
3) Checking if the user is a monkey (or now a goat) is a running gag. I don't think that is a naming mistake.
4) The usage of "exception" in that name is clearly different each time, though maybe it requires knowing Objective-C for that to feel "correct" (as the developer who named that function clearly is writing Objective-Java there ;P).
The spelling mistakes and inconsistencies are "awesome", though :(.
Is there a method naming convention in Objective-C where the phrase "withExceptionXYZ" in the method declaration means "this method may throw an instance of ExceptionXYZ"?
This is from https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/... :
public static void readExceptionWithOperationApplicationExceptionFromParcel(
Parcel reply) throws OperationApplicationException {
int code = reply.readExceptionCode();
if (code == 0) return;
String msg = reply.readString();
if (code == 10) {
throw new OperationApplicationException(msg);
} else {
DatabaseUtils.readExceptionFromParcel(reply, msg, code);
}
}
Thanks.
Nice comment.
