The device I'm working on, as well as other devices, have bits which can
be set, cleared and tested. For this we need three different methods
(could be two). The question is on how to name them:
opt. 1:
isOwnedByHost (test)
beOwnedByHost (set)
beOwnedByCard (clear)
opt. 2:
ownedByHost (test)
etc.
opt. 3:
isEndOfPacket (test)
beEndOfPacket (set)
dontBeEndOfPacket (clear)
opt. 4:
isEndOfPacket (test)
endOfPacketSet
endOfPacketClear
or any mix, or anything else. Right now I have a mixture, like opt1
and opt4. I'm not sure if this is the best thing to do (mix the flavors)
or stick to a more strict naming convention and leave the English
semantic aside. Remember English is not my native tongue, so I may as
well misjudge what's sounds better.
Uses of this would be, for example
receiveRing isOwnedByHost ifTrue: [queue add: (EthernetPacket bytes:
receiveRing message)]
transmitRing beEndOfPacket.
transmitRing dontBeEndOfPacket
or
transmitRing endOfPacketSet
transmitRing endOfPacketClear
thoughts?
thanks!
