[racket] naming structs that are members of other structs
Hello,
I just figured that there is a thing in Racket coding style
that bothers me from time to time. That thing have never arised
in C-style languages.
Say I want to have a "vehicle" struct. Also, I would like to keep
its physical state in a separate structure. It seems natural
to call it "vehicle-state". Also it seems natural to have a
"state" member in the "vehicle" structure which refers to that
separate structure. Here we go:
(struct vehicle-state
(position velocity))
(struct vehicle (state color model))
module: duplicate definition for identifier in: vehicle-state
The message is perfectly understandable. Yet the situation seems
common (at least for C++ programmers who switched to Racket),
and it would be good to know what are the common guidelines
to avoid it. Different capitalization in naming? Inheritance?
Best regards,
Dmitry
