Is this correct?
Yes, that's correct, since internally there is no difference between the initial name and later alias names. They are all implemented as keys in a perl hash, and they point to the same context data structure. Existance check for any context name is implemented as a key lookup in a perl hash, so the speed is the same for all names the context has. kind regards, risto > > -- > -- rouilj > John Rouillard > =========================================================================== > My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services. > Learn Why More Businesses Are Choosing CenturyLink Cloud For > Critical Workloads, Development Environments & Everything In Between. > Get a Quote or Start a Free Trial Today. > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=119420431&iu=/4140/ostg.clktrk > _______________________________________________ > Simple-evcorr-users mailing list > Simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
