When is a function name too long?

Question

I try to be rather descriptive with my function names, where possible. This occasionally results in function names in the twenty to thirty character range such as \"GetActionFr

Answer 1

I'd say when you find yourself finding abbreviations for their names when referring to them. I also find it too much when people start describing pre-/post-/parameter- conditions in the names or giving hints on the implementation. (like getVersionInformationFormTheDatabase() or doSomethingWithoutCheckingFooFirst())
