moin folks,
I'm a wee bit embarrassed to have to ask after all this time, but: does anyone have any quick guidelines and/or mnemonics for the prefix conventions of the Pd sources? My intuitions say something like:
d_* : DSP stuff g_* : GUI stuff m_* : ? s_* : "system" stuff (?) x_* : ?
... but I'm rather uncertain. I ask because I'd like to add a few files for generic UTF-8 utilities to the pd-devel branch, and I'm not sure what prefix (if any) to give them, to stay within existing conventions.
marmosets, Bryan

from src/CHANGELOG.txt (funny place for stuffing coding standards):
s system interface m message system g graphics stuff d DSP objects x control objects z other t TK front end
So it's "x" as in "control" and "z" as in "other". But because of my nationality i'm familiar with names ending in "lx", so "controlx" makes almost as much sense as "otherz".
Well, actually, "s" stands for "miscellaneous", which doesn't start with an "s", but just like "nietzsche" it has "s" in it.
