#61914 - RE: Pointer vs Reference
Responding to: ???'s previous message
agreed, a pointer need not consume space, but I was talking about the space it uses on the user stack, or the register via which it is refered to.

But whatever you do, whether you pass by name, value, pointer, reference, or whatever, you always have to pass something - and that something will always consume some space on the user stack, registers, or whatever!

The only way to avoid this is to use Globals.
