Sequence allocation

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

Simple, if I define a sequence named "s1":

s1 = {1,2,3,4,"whatever..."}

then define another sequence, "s2"

s2 = {s1,"other stuff"}

Will s2 contain a copy of s1 as its first element, or a pointer to s1. I'm using
this kind of example in a test I'm doing. But I don't want to use this approach
if s1 actually gets *replicated* into the first element of s2, as a lot of space
will get wasted if there are a lot of s2 like sequences lurking around! :)

 If anyone with a clue more than myself can tell me it'd be much appreciated

Cheers
!
