declaring contiguous variables

agfa

I have a question about the way a VAR is declared in MCP3202.spin posted by Ken Gracey.

The VAR "ins" is declared like this.·

long  ins             '4 contiguous longs (2 words + 1 long + 2 longs)

·I thought it would have to be declared like this to reserve memory for the 4 longs.

long  ins[noparse][[/noparse]4]           '4 contiguous longs (2 words + 1 long + 2 longs)

·I've attached the code in question.

The 4 contiguous longs are ins, count, dacx, and dacy
