At my first job circa 1990, our codebase was constrained to 6-character function names in the core libraries, which had to run on many platforms including mainframes. If I recall correctly, you could have longer names, but only the first 6 characters were significant to the linker. Never thought about why that might be other than "yeah, memory is expensive". |
