where do true and false spring into existence?
They have been around longer than some people on this mailing list ;-)
i've been poking around and cant figure it out.
true and false and some of the very few objects known to the VM and
they where instantiated when the parent of all current images was
created.
All images are basically cloned and not re-created from source, and
that's why you don't see any initialization code for them, they just
"are".
Hope this doesn't add to any confusion...
How is this for a confusing answer... it both does and doesnt.
I have a feeling the secret to unraveling that confusion comes from
this:
'true and false and some of the very few objects known to the VM'
does that mean that I can't go and find these variables anywhere? that
they arent true
global variables they are some sort of special global?
