<Naive C question alert>
I don't have any C/ObjC buddies to ask, except for you folks.
Is there any danger in using "static" local variables in methods in
Objective-C?
In the C book it says I can declare a static local variable in a
function and it will remember its value for the next time the function
is called.
Using this in Swarm would let me get rid of a bunch of IVARS that hold
values of seldom-used methods, so I could clean up some code. But I've
not seen this in Swarm examples, and wonder if there is a danger of
class instances corrupting or accidentally using each other's values for
static variables.
