Re: Accessors vs Properties

Hi, so you mean that the getter/setter usually internally calls the dynamic „property“ version where the property is passed as a string? Thus it would make sense that language bindings are fine using the get/set_property methods since there is no overhead. Best regards, Tobias > Am 05.01.201
