about the string literal pool

[Tony Johansson]

Hi!

Does all string literal be stored in the string literal pool. I mean is
there any limitation or once a string literal is declared it will be put in
the pool and stay there until the program stops.

Hello,

Do you see a reason for doing otherwise ? Not me...

It's good to generally question everything but what made you think that
perhaps it could be not always applicable ? Or do you have a situation where
this detail could make a difference in coding ?

Also see the Remarks section from :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.isinterned.aspx

And the Examples section states :
"The following example demonstrates that literal strings are interned
automatically by the compiler."

For now I don't have any reason to doubt about this (keep in mind that be
definition a string literal can't be changed)...
