access.c/bytes

Attribute Defining Item/BASIC: Syntax, Releases: AP 6.1

displays attribute 11, number of bytes, of binary items.

Description

displays attribute 11 of compiled binary items through the list-obj TCL command. This is the number of bytes of Pick object code. It is also available to Access.

This attribute holds the number of bytes of the actual compiled object code within the frame(s) that hold the binary item. This information is useful to estimate the number of frames that will be necessary to FlashBASIC compile standard Pick object code. This is typically 4 times the size in bytes, but is dependent on implementation, optimization level and related options, like 'f'.

This byte count does not include the symbol table, FlashBASIC code or the size of the compile date-time stamp.

Example

list dict bp c/bytes
