  Sorry your post got deleted, we were just updating the forum and the database model changed.

  To answer your question: You can only take the address of parameters that are 'var' as everything else would violate the contract that the proc doesn't change the arguments that are passed to it.

  I'd like to point out that it is possible to violate the contract by using {.emit "c code".}, although that is obviously not portable between platforms and would make anyone reading your code hate you.

  You just have to copy it with =

  var copy = the_non_var_parameter addr(copy)
