Please review it. > > Strings which are probably unique (like paths) should not be > stringshared, not need to stringshare something that wont be shared. they probably should be shared. this is one of the big reasons for stringshare. why? 1. paths are often long (40-100 or more chars) 2. there ARE multiple copies. eg: one in the RGBA software engine one in the evas image object one in the "wrapper" smart objects or structs and now multiple instances of that same icon/image on screen at once... ... and possibly others so the string is really duplicated a lot and stringshare helps. a lot. i highly recommend putting paths to files in strignshare. highly. it was actually analysis of all these duplicated file paths for images/icons that first gave birth to stringshare. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
