Variables internal names (as seen by the assembler)

Normally all variables are prefixed by the module name (program or unit), followed by a dot.

Variables declared in the global sections are internally named as declared, with the module name prefix; variables declared within a procedure or function declaration are internally named:

<module-name>.<procedure-or-function-name>.<variable-name> and cannot be accessed outside.

Examples:

MyUnit.MyVar is a variable declared in a global section of the MyUnit unit.

MyUnit.MyProc.MyVar is a variable declared in the MyProc procedure in the MyUnit unit.

• The internal representation of symbols can be compressed by a special algorithm to deal with the 32 characters limitation of MPASM; let's say that the elements at left of a name are removed and a unique numerical index is added as a suffix.
