Re: Call or Bound Call

["Joep Beckeringh" <joepb@xxxxxx>]

Joel,

Straight from the manual:

When the keyword CONST is specified, the compiler may copy the parameter to
a temporary and pass the address of the temporary. Some conditions that
would cause this are: the passed parameter is an expression or the passed
parameter has a different format.

In other words: As long as you supply some sort of numeric expression, the
compiler makes sure the called program gets it in the prototyped format.
