"Manage" interfaces in this case could mean a clear definition of interfaces and records of each type. <BR/><BR/>For instance, for intra-application interfaces in a "c" program you have certain ways you pass data structures to and from functions. Is your standard to pass an entire data structure, or a pointer to a structure? Do you standardize on certain data types, or is type conversion permitted? Do you use arrays of pointers and just pass the index, or do you pass the actual data? Then, what are the guidelines on when and where to apply, or deviate from these standards.<BR/><BR/>These are some possible ways you might interpet the practice, altough there are others.

However that criteria is hard to define.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Juan CarlosJuan Carlos Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572940690631000726noreply@blogger.com
