| Q: | How I can determine the size of a symbol (i.e. TI-Basic variable) and the TIOS type of the variable? |
| A: |
Assume that you found a VAT symbol entry for a symbol (say symbol named "foo")
which may be done for example using SymFindPtr:
SYM_ENTRY *sym;
...
sym = SymFindPtr (SYMSTR ("foo"), 0);
Then, do the following to find the size and type:
unsigned short size; ESQ type; ... size = ((MULTI_EXPR*) HeapDeref (sym->handle))->Size + 2; type = *(HToESI (sym->handle));After this, the variables 'size' and 'type' will contain exactly
what do you want.
