Re: Accessors vs Properties

[Tobias Knopp <tobias knoppweb de>]

Hi,

so you mean that the getter/setter usually internally calls the dynamic „property“ version where the property 
is passed as a string?
Thus it would make sense that language bindings are fine using the get/set_property methods since there is no 
overhead.

Best regards,

Tobias
