Interesting Find - ByRef Mismatch - Integer vs Byte

[Elroy]

Both don't create a Variant intermediate, that would be highly ineffective language construct. CInt is not a regular function but a type conversion function and it's even color coded in the IDE as a statement (not regular function).

But Wqweto, I only see two possibilities for getting data (arguments) into the CInt library function: 1) there are actually separate library entry points for each argument type you may pass to CInt, and the compiler sorts this out; or 2) the argument is passed into CInt in some kind of way that the library can identify what kind of variable it is ... and that's almost the definition of a Variant.

Just saying,
Elroy

EDIT1: Wait, you're saying that the compiler just puts inline code in wherever a CInt is used?

EDIT2: And, if that's true, that's interesting because CInt still works with an explicit Variant argument, where it may not even know the data type it's converting.
