Twix and Snickers must go away...

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

years ago, once upo a time, the red chaperon...
well, when Alex started to work on ADS back in 2001, he knew about 
Snacc, an ASN.1 compiler in java. It was not ASL 2.0 compatible, so he 
wrote a version of the ASN.1 codec called Snickers (funny word game : 
Snacc/Snickers...) and compared the result he got with Snacc.

So far, so good, we had a ASN/1 LDAP codec.

Whe I arrived full of hope, energy and crazyness back in 2005, I started 
to write the version we are now using, and I followed the track started 
by Alex, so I named this ASN/1 codec 'twix'.

Twix generated messages are used in the codec, and Snickers' ones are 
used inside the server. We have a class named TwixTransformer which does 
the translation from codec to server messages, and back.

In 2010, when I look back in this code, I'm totally lost. I don't know 
which is used in the server, and which is used in the codec.

I will rename all this crap, and Twix messages will become 
CodecMessage(s) and SnickersMessage(s) are now InternalMessage(s).

It will be easier for everyone.

Sidenote : even when funny, names are names : they are here to help you 
remind what is what. My toilet's bowl's name is 'bowl', not 'sink', for 
some obvious reasons.

clearly the problem is that snickers and twix are not related in the
candy bar world close enough...

you need to rename them to almond joy and mounds because almond joy's
got nuts and mounds don't...

wait...

ya, good change :P

cheers,
