PB binary implementation of functions/subs ???

[Peter P Stephensen]

Hi all --

Anybody knows where to find a precise documentation of the way PB implements
functions/subs? I am especially interested in the way static variables are
implemeted. According to my own investigations the binary code of functions/subs
shows the following pattens (this is just to show you what kind of information
i am looking for):

---------------------------
char           Asc-code 
---------------------------
---> start:
U              85 
‹              139 
ì              236 
S              83 
V              86 
W              87 
ƒ              131 
ì              236 
\              92 
  
---> sub:
j              106 
NULL           0 
j              106 
NULL           0 
j              106 
NULL           0 
  
---> function:
1              49 
ö              246 
V              86 
V              86 
V              86 
V              86 
‹              139 
E              69 
ˆ              136 
  
---> end:
              141 
e              101 
ô              244 
_              95 
^              94 
[              91 
]              93 
Ã/Â            195/194 (no arguments/arguments)

Peter

None of this type of information is officially/publically documented... why would you need this kind of information?

FYI, static variables (like globals) are stored in the DATA segment, whereas most local class variables are stored in the stack frame of the Sub/Function.
