[maiko] odd mix of naming conventions, duplicate pointers

nbriggs opened this issue · comments

There's an odd mix of naming conventions for variables containing native pointers in the maiko code (FOO_word, and FOO68k) and in one case BOTH conventions for two pointers to the same atom (\PENDINGINTERRUPT).

The naming should get rationalized, and there should never be two variables pointing at the same Lisp atom value cell.

I'm pretty sure that the 68k suffix should go as it has been a long time since M68000 systems have been in the picture - but it's not clear that an _word suffix has a sufficiently obvious meaning when one is reading the code.

This is not a high priority item.
