FWIW, I've been taking it to mean a) something that can always be correctly copied simply by copying its memory, and b) something for which equality can be determined by comparing memory (or at least won't give a false positive... I hadn't considered the "0 == -0" kind of equality until just now).
I'm not sure that's any less fuzzy than the description you referenced, though. This thread has several terms that I'm not as familiar with as I should be. - Dave Sweeris _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
