Personal feeling: don't bother. Aesthetically, I dislike capitals … which inclines me away from the use of macros (and I think it's a good thing that the convention is to use capitals for macros … if it discourages their use … since IMO macros often obscure code rather than clarifying it). IMO the utility of avoiding the overhead of sending a -release message to nil is questionable on modern processors. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
