We've made a decision about being explicit if the type is not too verbose: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CPP_STYLE_GUIDE.md#using-auto

But in current codebase, it's already used this way

Also used by v8 by default

@gengjiawen The example in node_platform.cc you’re referring to uses a more complex type – I would agree with using auto for that. Generally, we’re not being super consistent here, and we’ve had debates about this before. ;)
I think auto would be okay here too, because the static_cast makes things a bit more obvious, but I still think NativeT* is simple enough as a type to be kept this way.
(Basically, I agree with what the linked clang docs are saying, I just think NativeT* is short enough for me.)

There is an option MinTypeNameLength, disscuss it's value to make auto rule more consistent ?

@gengjiawen It’s just my opinion, but my gut feeling would be something like 10 or 12 characters or so, and only to use auto when the type is obvious (e.g. from new Something() or when using a cast).
