hi all,
expressions based on constants are remembered/cached for next evalations?
If I compile:
Foo>>wakeUpTime
^ '6:30 am' asTime
I can see that bytecode still send #asTime to the string '6:30 am'.
It means that each time the piece of code will be evaluated
the string will be parsed too, even if it is clear that it will never
produce a different object.
Same thing for CodeBlocks.
In:
[ :t | t < '06:30' asTime ]
the right argument of #> will never change... and I feel I'll spend a
lot of time
on evaluating the same constant expressions during the execution of my
program...
thanks
Paolo
