Consistent Variable Naming

Variables that represent the same concept should be named consistently across a module. This rule detects syntax or casing differences: the same logical name written in different styles, such as TypeVar vs Type_var or MyVar vs My_Var.

Avoid

This is a convention aimed at preventing subtle bugs and improving readability.

Mixing naming styles for the same variable across functions or type definitions:

-type one(TypeVar) :: {one, TypeVar}.
-type two(Type_var) :: {two, Type_var}.

Prefer

Pick one style per variable name and use it everywhere in the module:

-type one(TypeVar) :: {one, TypeVar}.
-type two(TypeVar) :: {two, TypeVar}.

Rationale

Inconsistent variable naming makes code harder to read and search. Casing mismatches like TypeVar vs Type_var can confuse readers about whether two different variables are intended.

Options

• None.
