Why is this an issue?
Code that follows a consistent naming convention is self-documenting. In Delphi, all pointer names
should be named identically to the dereferenced type, with the type prefix swapped for
P.
For example, the pointer types for TMyType, EMyType, and
IMyType should be named PMyType.
Custom prefixes for dereferenced types are also supported, provided they also start with
T, E or I.
For example, the pointer types for TxyMyType, ExyMyType, and
IxyMyType should be named PxyMyType.
If the dereferenced type is in PascalCase but does not have a valid prefix, the pointer name is
expected to be the same as the type name but with the addition of the prefix P.
For example:
^MyObject should be named PMyObject^MyType should be named PMyType
Note that pointers to types that do not follow the naming standard are valid as long as they are
in PascalCase with the prefix P.
For example:
^my_object will be valid if named PMyObject^my_object will not be valid if named Pmy_object
How to fix it
Rename the pointer type to follow the convention.
