How replace in String works

Hi,
GS 3.4.1

Why:
'123' at: 3 put: $4; yourself. "rise an exception"
'123' copy at: 3 put: $4; yourself "works ok"

My problem was using replaceAll:with: but the "culprit" was at:put: in
Strings.

'123' copy isInvariant "answer false"
'123' isInvariant "answer true"

regards,
bruno

Re: How replace in String works

Bruno,

In GemStone, literal strings and array are created invariant. As you
have discovered a copy of the string is not invariant, so if you are
created literal strings that you intend to modify then you should do
the copy at creation time ...
