Subject: decode-coding-string and consing

Message-ID: <m3hebc13ra.fsf@defun.localdomain> (raw)
,----[ C-h f decode-coding-string RET ]
| decode-coding-string is a built-in function.
| (decode-coding-string STRING CODING-SYSTEM &optional NOCOPY)
|
| Decode STRING which is encoded in CODING-SYSTEM, and return the result.
| Optional arg NOCOPY non-nil means it is OK to return STRING itself
| if the decoding operation is trivial.
`----
Under what conditions is the decoding operation "trivial"?
I was hoping that something like:
(decode-coding-string "abc" 'us-ascii t) or
(decode-coding-string "abc" 'latin-1 t)
wouldn't cons a new string; but unfortunaley it does.
