I see code like

# define luametatex_version 210

# define luametatex_revision 10
# define luametatex_release 10

# define luametatex_version_string "2.10.10"

starting with C99 these become unnecessary. Rather they should be like const int luametatex_version=210; const char* luametatex_version_string="2.10.10";

These ensure type-safety in the code and are good coding practice.

Dear Hans,

I saw the C code of LuaMetaTeX and I saw a lot of gotos which is not good coding practice. These potions of code which have goto should be refactored.

I am a C programmer, but I know very little of TeX. If you can point me towards where should I start for TeX(perhaps TeX Book or TeX for the Impatient), I can help with refactoring of code to make is more efficient/easier.
