Structures ending with _t

[clintonyeb]

I presume you have a lot of coding experience. I don't know why but you append all the names of your structures with _t, example:

enum MetaCommandResult_t {
 META_COMMAND_SUCCESS,
 META_COMMAND_UNRECOGNIZED_COMMAND
};
typedef enum MetaCommandResult_t MetaCommandResult;

and then later redefine it.

Is there any advantage to doing this?

Hi,

The reason I do this is the compiler I'm using requires that whenever you reference a struct or enum you use the struct or enum keyword. (e.g. enum MetaCommandResult_t). I immediately create a typedef so I don't have to use the keyword.

Thank you for your awesome work!. I think you can close the issue now 😄

Hey, I wonder why can't we just do this

typedef struct {
    char* buffer;
    size_t buffer_length;
    size_t input_length;
} InputBuffer;

Will save an extra line of code and will be as efficient I guess.

@shubham1172 Awesome! I went ahead and made that change #37
