Subject: rfi: immutable strings
Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2011 08:57:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3mxncd52k.fsf@unquote.localdomain> (raw)
Hello,
Guile needs immutable strings. String literals should be immutable, so
that its characters can come directly from objcode. Also, the result of
(symbol->string 'foo) should be immutable; currently symbol->string
conses up a new shared substring every time.
In practice this means a flag on the stringbuf.
Takers? :)
Andy
