Thank you. So, I'd like to find a way to test if two variables are bound or not, especially concerning their memory address.
If the address is not fixed for a lifetime, I must be able to test it in just one cycle. > $a.WHERE == $b.WHERE # I expected FALSE True To a bound variable, I expect the same address, but to an unbounded variable, this garbage collector behavior seams assing to the same memory location two unbounded variables with the same value. It is right? Must reduce memory usage but is a quiet weirdo.
