Re: Wrappers vs. efficiency - quick comment

claration is only a suggestion and often there is a real version of the sub in addition to any inlined copies. Besides a wrapped inline sub is in no different situation as a inlined sub being called in another inlined sub, this seem to be all part of what the compiler has to be able to do to deal with a recursive sub that is also declared inline. -- Mark Biggar [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Arrays: Default Values

oo-woo)" in there. Just a plain old primitive array. I imagine that each primative type will have a default default :-) int0 str'' num0.0 etc. and if we define a prop "is no_default" then you get what ever junk happens to be in memory. (this for even more speed) -- Mark Biggar [EMAIL PROTECTED]
