[plt-scheme] Recommended style for ncurses ffi?
Hi,
I'm writing ncurses ffi bindings for a customer application. I will
be using much of the ncurses api, including forms and panels. I might
even write bindings for the cdk, unless I find it sufficient to simply
implement additional widgets in scheme atop the basic bindings.
In any case, I'm hoping that I will have something worth sharing with
the rest of the plt scheme community, perhaps suitable for
distribution via planet. Thus, I'm more concerned about programming
style than I might be otherwise. I've had a look through some of the
examples under the ffi collection, and I see some function and type
names imported verbatim. For example, from magick.ss,
(defmagick DestroyMagickWand ...
(define _PixelIterator (make-ctype ...
In xmmsctrl.ss, I see reformatting of names to replace underscores with dashes,
(defxmms get-playlist-pos ...
(defxmms set-playlist-pos ...
In xsod.ss, I see prefixed names, but that's carried over from the foreign api,
(defxosd* xosd-set-timeout ...
In none of the examples have I seen use of, say, the '!' suffix for
mutating functions.
So, since I'm making the effort to write a quality set of ncurses
bindings, what do folks here recommend? Verbatim import of names?
Rerformatting (including prefixing and suffixing) of names to make
them more scheme-like?
Thanks,
Mike
