I may be misunderstanding the question, but I'll try and answer anyway. There are two ways to create a new scratchpad. The first looks like: op new_pad(in INT) which creates a new scratchpad and grabs to depth <int> of the current scope (i.e. the scratchpad at the top of the stack). This I think will be the usual way to create a new scope. The alternative looks like this: op new_pad(out PMC, in INT) which does the same as the previous form, but does not push the new pad on the stack, rather it is stored in the given PMC register. Does that answer your question? > Apart from that: Nice patch. > -- Jonathan Sillito
