I was thinking about this a bit, and one question popped in my mind
(as I don't know the exact answer): if you reverse a constant string via an
unsave char pointer voodoo loop, aren't you then altering that constant string
EVERYWHERE in your app? As constant strings are interned by default?
so:
string s = "foo";
// reverse s in-place here inline
Console.WriteLine(s);
Console.WriteLine("foo");
will this print:
oof
oof
?
