Thanks Alex, Another clarification - I was looking at the implementation of consName
After this assignment, p points to the CDR of the cell - p = symPtr(p); However, this assignment assigns to ((p)->car) val(p) = n; I figured out what's happening is equivalent of *(word*)p = val?:p; I got a little tripped by the definition of val - because "p" is really not a Cell pointer after the symPtr assignment right? I mean, p->cdr is invalid at this point correct?
