Re: dot net and stack


No, that is not correct. I think what they mean to say is that _locals_ are
allocated from stack - as opposed to from the heap. Obviously, an object
field, say, of value type is stored within the object BLOB (if you will).

Thank you.

I suspect the author just did not consider the possibility of declaring a value variable in a module, but not in a class or procedure.
