This derives from a basic inability to express long-lived pointers to constants in the current system of memory ownership; we lost that ability with the last vector-system rewrite and haven't yet regained it. It's one of the (many) reasons we're making region pointers first class and introducing slice types (that use region pointers). The new work on vectors will permit constant strings, slices, and general vectors (and other things built out of them). -Graydon _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
