While I an open array
DebugLn(['abc']);The string constant, is passed directly to the method (no temporary vars used)
but ( procedure DebugLn(const s: string = ''); inline; overload; )
DebugLn('abc');generates the code at the end of the mail. It first makes a copy of the string (the pointer, not the content) to a temp var.
And not only this there is an unnecessary fpc_ansistr_decr_ref
- in 2.6 there are 2 calls to fpc_ansistr_decr_ref
- in trunc it is fpc_ansistr_decr_ref and fpc_ansistr_assign (the latter including a further call to the former)
That is I have no problem, that the temp var (if it has to be there at all) is dec-refed once. After all, if there was more pascal code before, the temp may be in use....
But since fpc_ansistr_assign, does dec_red the target, why needs there to be another explicit call?
