I have seen a lot adding of purecopy() to Emacs CVS.
Why? Does it reduce memory use and performance?
Should it be used everywhere we have static string initializations in
emacs-lisp code?
I discovered it in Emacs CVS python.el and I have seen that emacs/lisp/
ChangeLog contains lots of such changes.
Here are two sample lines taken from python.el
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist (cons (purecopy "\\.py\\'") 'python-
mode))
(add-to-list 'same-window-buffer-names (purecopy "*Python*"))
Is this some special case where purecopy() is especially motivated?
Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw
