[Gambas-user] Question about Object.Size and object symbol enumeration

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Just wondering where Object.SizeOf is usually needed for...
Example, you can use SizeOf() function to determine needed space to write
memory to file.
But Object.SizeOf cannot be used for that. Maybe there should be warning in
documentation about
dissimilarities between SizeOf() and Object.SizeOf.

But not really a problem, since you can enumerate object symbols.
