Hello people-- According to the documentation,
> If you don't care about initial capacity, a more elegant way to > create a new string buffer is to write: > SBUF" " clone However, according to my listener, > (scratchpad) SBUF" " SBUF" " eq? > --- Data stack > f ... from which I infer that the SBUF" " word actually creates a new string-buffer instance each time it is called. So, is there some non-obvious reason why it is preferable to use 'clone', or are the docs wrong/out-of-date? BTW, the same question applies to BV{ } and, I would imagine, some other empty literal sequences. -- Matt Gushee m...@gushee.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
