| Aug 27, 2021 at 14:26 | comment | added | Shanthakumar | this is not just about public vs external. Notice that I'm discussing the visibility public vs external in a library function. Library functions are treated as base contracts during function calls and use delegate calls to invoke functions, in this case, arguments are not copied to memory, only the reference will be sent to the library contract. so my question is if it's only the reference that's being sent to the library contract, will it be any different to use external over the public in a library function to save gas? | |
