Well, varray[char] could be a good base. I could implement SubArray (in general). Varrays can't move or be resized. They're variable length up to a bound. Pass by address, mutable. SubArray would just be varray with start and end pos. Or start and length. There is a cost, getting either a C string in a stack buffer, or, a C++ string onto the heap. However c_str() already pays that price for C++ strings and already returns a varray[char] . The way arrays and pointers work in Felix is still too confusing. Even I can't figure it out :) -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
