Programmer's Reference

Macros versus functions

All operations in this chapter are described as being functions. However, some might be implemented as macros. In future releases of IBM Smalltalk, some operations might change from macros to functions or vice-versa. To ensure future compatibility, do not pass expressions with side-effects to functions described here. Also, do not attempt to take the address of any of the API functions.
