| DEPRECATED |
| SYNOPSIS |
| string make_shared_string(string str) |
| bytes make_shared_string(bytes str) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Puts <str> in the table of shared strings of the game. |
| |
| If the string is used by several variables/objects this |
| saves memory. Keys of alists and mappings are always shared |
| strings. |
| |
| In LDMud 3.3, this function is no longer necessary: strings |
| are shared as much as possible anyway, and the driver automatically |
| converts untabled strings into tabled strings after some time. |
| |
| HISTORY |
| Introduced in LDMud 3.2.6; following a suggestion from Tubmud. |
| Deprecated in LDMud 3.3.531. |
