Edit Question
Title
Body
I want to know the process and internals of string interning specific to .NET Framework . Would also like to know the benefits of using interning and the scenarios/situations where we should use string interning to improve the performance. Though I have studied interning from the Jeffery Richter's CLR book but I am still confused and would like to know it in more detail. [Editing] to ask a specific question with a sample code as below: private void MethodA() { string s = "String"; // line 1 - interned literal as explained in the answer //s.intern(); // line 2 - what would happen in line 3 if we uncomment this line, will it make any difference? } private bool MethodB(string compareThis) { if (compareThis == "String") // line 3 - will this line use interning (with and without uncommenting line 2 above)? { return true; } return false; }
