Are there any performance implications that would suggest preferring one or the other of these different styles?
NSString *s = @"sing me a song"; [myClass aMethod: s]; and [myClass aMethod: @"sing me a song"]; I have a lot of the first kind in my code, and I'm thinking of simplifying it by turning them all into the second kind. A discussion on stackoverflow here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25746/whats-the-difference-between-a-string-constant-and-a-string-literal seems to suggest (if I've understood it correctly) that I'd be better off sticking with the first style to avoid errors and to speed up comparisons. However, since in my code they're all one-off 'throw away" strings that don't get used elsewhere, that doesn't seem relevant. Is there any other reason why I should stick with the first style rather than the second? Thanks for your thoughts. P
