If you are asking about runtime speed overhead caused by longer variable names then there is no difference if you are using shorter or smaller variables names. LOCAL variable names are not stored in final binaries at all (with the exception to code emitted for debugger with -b switch) and PUBLIC, PRIVATE, FILED variables are not accessed by name but using pointers to symbol table so length of real names is unimportant. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
