Re^6: Closure on Closures (beta)

[adrianh]

The binding are only retained after the first entry via the goto, at which point, the variable does increment with each successive jump back to that code.

There is a bit of storage in there somewhere - but the original variable binding isn't. That's what I was trying to say.

I agree, it's not the original¹ That's why I said in my original reply to broquaint, "It makes sense, however, to think of it as a closure that is created on the first entry into the bare block via the goto" (original emphasis).

That's what I was trying to say.

You're kidding me! You mean we've been saying the same thing this whole time? ;-)

Actually, PadWalker suggests it is the original storage space but that it gets reinitialized to undef.
