Hi Shiv,
Can you move this discussion to the dev-context list, please? https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/dev-context.ntg.nl/
Best wishes, Taco

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.

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.
