In my App, when I receive a launch code where globals are not accepted, I cannot acess any variables defined outside of the function that is beeing called.
You cannot access any variables that aren't located on the stack. This includes global variables, static variables, and some kinds of constant data.
I can, however, call another function!
Yes. Basically, you can access things that are PC-relative and SP-relative, but not things that are A5-relative. PC-relative items include other functions and constant data stored in the code section, while SP-relative items are local variables on the stack.
In addition, I can receive my application preferences when I define the buffer inside of my function. The externally defined Type an however be used!
Types don't have an "in-memory" representation. This isn't a language scoping issue, it's a hardware-memory-addressing issue.
However, the regular variable used for storage of the preferences(it is located outside of PilotMain), canot be used!
That would be correct.
