What's happening

I have a question regarding another word: dereferenceable.

As a non-native English speaker, I'm not completely sure about the correct usage.

dereferenceable vs dereferencable:

When I searched for the word dereferencable on Wikipedia, it indicated that it is a misspelling of dereferenceable (ref).

However, the codebase contains both dereferencable and dereferenceable, with dereferencable being used more frequently.

Actions

  1. Standardize the codebase to use one term consistently.
  2. Decide between using dereferencable or dereferenceable based on correctness and consistent usage.

Recommendation

Considering the reference and the correct spelling, I recommend standardizing the term dereferenceable throughout the codebase.
