Hi Mars, since you are there, could you possibly shed some light on the
original question concerning arrays? :
1) If I have a dimensioned array :
dim myFixedArray(123) as UInt32
and NEVER anywhere in my project do I use "dynamic" commands on it,such as
Append, Remove, Redim etc ..
Does RB recognise this - and store and treat the array internally as a
contiguous block of UInts in the same manner as C ? Or is each element
handled by a reference or some indirect addressing scheme ?, thereby adding
an extra layer of code execution?
If I then use array indexing to access any element
eg:
for I as integer = 0 to 123
myIntVar = myArray(i)
Next
Does this internally simply use C style index offset addressing to access
the elements ( plus bounds checking of course if enabled ) or are there
extra stages
