Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata-dev Group: None Status: Open Priority: 2 Submitted By: IOhannes m zmölnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: change the name of the header-file

Initial Comment: pd is the only software i know which has such a weird naming for the public header: "m_pd.h" while this name is logical within pd's internal naming scheme (as explained in src/notes.txt) i think it is an annoyance to have a "/usr/include/m_pd.h" file after installation. i would like to propose the official header file to be called "pd.h"

for compatibility reasons we could still provide an "m_pd.h" which in turn includes "pd.h". i would suggest to emit a warning (via the "#warning" or the "#pragma warn" preprocessor directoves, to indicate that the m_pd.h-header is deprecated for externals. in a second step (after a grace period of say 6 months), we could even put an "#error" into the m_pd.h.

a simpler possibility would be to add a "pd.h" which includes "m_pd.h"

i know that this is really just cosmetic.
