Writable consts...?

[cdbc]

Hi
@Thaddy & @ASerge: You guys are early risers 
Well, Ok - on my second cuppa'joe...
Thanks for the input, the story goes like this:
My plan is to offer the user, some sensible defaults, which (s)he can choose to keep, or replace with whatever they'd like, even add or subtract directories, if need be. Compiler wouldn't let me define an initialized variable in that particular place, that's how I came about the 'writable const' idea... So I'd actually like to keep the default {$J+} 
That makes the push/pop situation moot.

Benny, check the assembler that is generated and you will immediately see the difference.

That's my dang problem, I'm *not* well versed in ASM ...at all! Some bits'n' pieces may make sense to me, but.... Just never got around to it...
The code works quite well, till now; today I'll forge a data-entry-form and see how I fair, with changing the default values in the 'writable const'...
So far so good, thank you.
Regards Benny

What? a Dane not versed in assembler?
btw, the terminology has changed to a better to understand "writeable static variable" in the documentation. The reason is pre-object orientation and keeps state.

Yup Thaddy, who'd have thunk it

Ok,Ok, I will write up where the Danes are responsible for: F#, C#, C++, TP, Delphi and eventually...probably the next important language, except Python which is Dutch and C is not a language but a cludge. Have a nice weekend..
(not by any means complete ... partially accurate)

Hey Thaddy
Sorry for the late response, I'm in the middle of painting our carport... 
I must admit, I'm quite fond of Anders' work 
Bjarne's on the other hand, feels to me, more like bolting 4 extra legs onto a donkey and calling it an Octopus...
...migth have 8 legs, but still this annoying braying 
Have a nice weekend my friend
Regards Benny

( there is a secret hidden in my message and you spotted it )
 car port painting is more .., well, not, .. my issue because I have a car port, but no car..
I only have a license to drive a main battle tank. which has probably expired.
(rijvaardigheidbewijs rupsvoertuigen, I was a tank commander at 19)
my rank is captain, retired, acting major. but that does not matter, I was a simple tank commander.
