mb_interpreter_t

MyBASIC2 uses an interpreter structure to store data, pointers and data structures during parsing and running period; like local/global function directory, global variable dictionary, abstract syntax tree, parsing/running/debugging context, error information etc.  An interpreter structure is a unit of MyBASIC2 environment and is created when calling mb_open. Function callbacks between MyBASIC2 script and host program  all pass this structure as the first parameter.  An interpreter structure can have children attached to them.  The children are attached in a flat list in the current implementation.  A mb_interpreter_t structure is disposed by calling mb_close.

A child interpreter will always inherit:

Unless specified otherwise:
