RE: CONST Parameter passing, varying and *varsize

>>
Again though, this means a CONST with a varying length field works
different than a CONST on a fixed length field.  With CONST on a fixed
length field, the literal is always copied to a temporary field of
%size() == %size(parm).
>>

No. this is not always true. Again, if the compiler creates a 200-byte temp
variable, it may reuse that variable over and over again for other parameters.
The temp variable is often %size() = %size(parm) but it is not always true.

Thanks,
