84 >LWASM also supports the concept of a local symbol. A local symbol is one
|
|
|
85 which contains either a "?" or a "@", which can appear anywhere in the symbol.
|
|
|
86 The scope of a local symbol is determined by a number of factors. First,
|
|
|
87 each included file gets its own local symbol scope. A blank line will also
|
|
|
88 be considered a local scope barrier. Macros each have their own local symbol
|
|
|
89 scope as well (which has a side effect that you cannot use a local symbol
|
|
|
90 as an argument to a macro). There are other factors as well. In general,
|
|
|
91 a local symbol is restricted to the block of code it is defined within.</P
