We all have preferences. But for code that I need to review, I prefer
it.

Why would you be bothered by it? Which is easier on the eyes to read
variables?

 	struct xbc_node *leaf, *vnode;
 	const char *val;
	char q;
 	char *key, *end = dst + size;
 	int ret = 0;

or

 	struct xbc_node *leaf, *vnode;
 	char *key, *end = dst + size;
 	const char *val;
	char q;
 	int ret = 0;

?
