<h2>Syntax</h2>

<p><div class="box">

<dl>
<dt>(<b>address-of</b> <i>expr</i>)</dt>
<dd>expr - an expression<br>
returns - the memory address of the expression as an integer</dd>
</dl>

</div></p>

<h2>Description</h2>

<p>The 'address-of' function returns the internal memory address of the
XLISP node that corresponds to 'expr'. The value returned is an integer.</p>

<h2>Examples</h2>

<pre class="example">
(setq var 0)                    =&gt; 0   <font color="#008844">; set up VAR with 0</font>
(address-of var)                =&gt; 123224
(address-of 'var)               =&gt; 182638
(peek (address-of var))         =&gt; 83951616
(peek (1+ (address-of var)))    =&gt; 16777216
(peek (+ 2 (address-of var)))   =&gt; 0   <font color="#008844">; value of VAR</font>
(setq var 14)                   =&gt; 14  <font color="#008844">; change the value to 14</font>
(peek (+ 2 (address-of var)))   =&gt; 14
(setq var 99)                   =&gt; 99  <font color="#008844">; change the value to 99</font>
(peek (+ 2 (address-of var)))   =&gt; 99
</pre>

<p><b>Nyquist:</b> The '<nobr>address-of</nobr>' function is internally
disabled, but the code still exists. Look out for PEEK_AND_POKE in the
Nyquist source code.</p>

<p><b>Caution:</b> Be careful when modifying the internal state of XLISP.
<nobr>If you</nobr> have modified it, it would be a good idea to exit XLISP
and <nobr>re-enter</nobr> before doing any work you really want to
retain.</p>
