Some more thoughts on local variables in scheme from a newbie POV. Due to a parenthesis syntaxes of variable declaration area, if variable x is declared before variable y and y is declared before x is dropped, x remains active at least until y is dropped. (let (x 1) ... (let (y 2) ;x is used here ... ;noway to drop x here ) ;let (y ) ;(let (x So there is no much benefit from such a manner of local variable definition in sense of memory consumption. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
