If the data is read from a file, then I agree with you 100%.
No, the plan is read-only, potentially from a huge file. I’ve been looking at the Swift 3 stuff now, and “Data” initializer takes the same parameters as "NS(Mutable)Data," including memory-mapping. I’m working on Mac applications, BTW. (Cranky Old Man mode: that used to be assumed; now it’s the other way around (i.e. iPhone & friends unless I specify). Just ticked off that I skipped a lot of the WWDC 2016 videos from my binge since they were iPhone & friends oriented. And the first third of the last Mac announcement was a future AppleTV app. And get off my lawn.) — Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
