One of our default metalang files (vbmethods.xml) has this definition of VB6.Split method:
| Wiki Markupcode |
|---|
<method id="Split" type="String[]" opcode="VBF.112">
<argument id="Expression" type="String" status="ByVal"/>
<argument id="Delimiter" type="String" status="ByVal" optional=" "/>
<argument id="Limit" type="Integer" status="ByVal" optional="-1"/>
<argument id="Compare" type="VbCompareMethod" status="ByVal" optional="1"/>
</method> |
It indicates that the last three args are optional.
Another default metalang file (VBASIC.XML) has these standard target patterns for Split:
| Code Block |
|---|
<subcode id="Split">
<loc status="extension" role="function" narg="4" code="%1d.Split(%2d)"/>
<vbn role="function" narg="4" code="Strings.Split(%1d,%2d,%3d,%4d)"/>
<jvs role="function" narg="4" code="Split(%1d,%2d)"/>
<csh role="function" narg="4" code="VBNET.Strings.Split(%1d,%2d,%3d,%4d)"/>
</subcode> |
Notice that the loc form explicitly omits all arguments but the second one. This is to fit within the limits of the BCL String.Split.
