Static and dynamic reference

[AnandR]

Hi,

This VI reference is called static reference and property node reference is called dynamic reference.

Can I check this concept practically.

Hi,

Is there any reason calling "This VI" reference as static reference and property nodes are dynamic reference . Can I check this concept practically with some sample VI.

Not all Property nodes are dynamic.  If you have a property node linked to a single control, without any Reference input at the top left, this is static.  If the property node is assigned an object on which to operate at run-time, then it is dynamic.

This is essentially the difference.

"This VI" is, by definition, static since it can only ever refer to a single specific object.

Hi ,

Thanks for merging those post.

@Intaris,

This VI reference  and other reference e.g. (property node or invoke node) are pointers. Can you see the address value of this pointers before running VI and when running VI. I need to check how stack , code space and data space allocation happens in Labview.

References are 32-bit handles.  You can see the value of a reference by casting it to a U32.  However that number doesn't really tell you anything, it's just something that the RTE uses to access the object.
