Re: AW: [Xotcl] destroy invoked by object move?

But I am guessing even this is unnecessary. Why call the destroy at all? I am confident, without looking at the actual code, that deallocation of the resources for the 'original' object could be deallocated without going through the whole destruction procedure.

as pointed out earlier, move is a copy + destroy. If you want a copy alone, use copy and not move.

As Artur pointed out, command names are the references to objects. if such a reference should be made invalid and the unneeded storage should be reclaimed at this time, destroy is the correct thing.

Note, that move does not refer to a single object, but to an object tree, all subobjects, classes, commands, etc. are affected as well.
