Hi, guys<br>
<br>
I'm sorry if what I'm about to ask is a newbie question but I'm puzzled<br>
about a behavior I found today regarding Arrays.<br>
<br>
a1 := #(0 0 0 0).<br>
a2 := #(0 0 0 0).<br>
a1 == a2<br>
<br>
If I select the whole expression above and execute it on a workspace it<br>
returns true (meaning that a1 and a2 are the same object). If I execute each<br>
line separately it returns false.<br>
I don't understand why this happens. Is this expected? or is it a bug?<br>
<br>
This only happens when I use the literal syntax, using Array >><br>
#new:withAll: works fine regardless of the way I execute it. I'm inclined to<br>
think this is a bug, but I wanted to know what you think about it.<br>

It's an optimization by the compiler. If the same literal object appears twice or more, only one object will be created.<br>
