"union"

Muncher

1) is it possible to put a variable in spin at a certain place in memory, and 2) if so, is it possible to have two variables located at the same address?

Example:

long pixel
byte argb[noparse][[/noparse]3] @pixel

Thanks,
Muncher

Right now, the compiler doesn't have any allowance for having multiple types at the same address. It's all possible, though. Maybe we'll implement this. Many times, I've needed a byte buffer at a long boundary. It would have been handy to have what you're talking about. I'll look into this tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.
