why c++ don't follow up conventions ( like PascalCase | camelCase ) naming in STL?

Question

hello
in STL you can see methods and classes like this to_string(), time_t and so more.
my question is why c++ do not follow up conventions naming?
conventions naming : PascalCase, camelCase.
and now what i must do?
1. i must comply convention naming?
2. i must comply naming such as STL?

Answer 1

I see a benefit..
if you use your convention then the STL methods inside your code are more visibile, you can immediately spot them !
This improves readability

Answer 2

Sounds like you haven't looked into snake case naming convention.

Answer 3

It's a matter of preference for personal works and a guideline for industrial scale ones. You can dig through STL drafts and see their guidelines for various parts of implementation. Each and every organization (including C++ standard committee) trying to stick with their guns in order to avoid inconsistency and possible eyesore for library users.

Answer 4

Maybe because the developers of C++ libraries don't like those famous cases. Maybe they like to use underscore button (_) more than shift button. 😂😂😂
