  1. Nothing wrong with short names in a context, that is a short function. The rule is, if you can see the declaration right above its use, you don't need a long identifier. The coding style where you have veryunecessarlylongidentifiers is tedious and overly verbose.

  2. You are doing a lot of bailouts in the middle of the function. Its a function with one entry and many exits. The way to avoid deep nesting is by breaking the function into smaller functions, not this horrid multi-exit code misdesign. Sorry.
