Arguments
ByteOffset is the new offset (in bytes) for the next FieldUnit within a FieldList.
Description
The Offset operator is used within a FieldList to specify the byteOffset of the next defined field
within its parent operation region. This can be used instead of defining the bit lengths that need to be
skipped. All offsets are defined starting from zero, based at the starting address of the parent region.
19.6.94 ObjectType (Get Object Type)
Syntax
ObjectType (Object) => Integer
Arguments
Object is any valid object.
Description
The execution result of this operation is an integer that has the numeric value of the object type for
Object.
The object type codes are listed in Table 18-20. Notice that if this operation is performed on an
object reference such as one produced by the Alias, Index, or RefOf statements, the object type of
the base object is returned. For typeless objects such as predefined scope names (in other words,
\_SB, \_GPE, etc.), the type value 0 (Uninitialized) is returned.
