RE: Procedure Parameter Passing - Processing Implications of Const

expression produces result.  The result will need to somehow store somewhere in 
the memory, hence has an address/pointer.  You don't see the result variable, 
but, I think the compiler will create one when creating the program object.

Subject: Procedure Parameter Passing - Processing Implications of Const


When I define a procedure parameter as Const:
1.  The caller passes a pointer to the procedure, which the procedure
then interprets.
2.  If I pass an array 32555A Dim(9000), it's no different than if I
pass a 3i 0 field (processing-wise)?
 
I question this because if I can pass an expression, there is no pointer
to that expression... so what is it doing?
