Hi, I want to pass a string by reference. I understand that strings are immutable, but Im not going to change the string in the function, just to aviod the overhead of copying(when pass-by-value) because the strings are long and this function will be called over and over again. I initially thought of breaking the strings into list and passing the list instead, but I think there should be an efficient way.
So is there a way to pass a const reference to a string? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
