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 ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
