I have a question about `disassemble' in Emacs Lisp:
(defun silly-loop (n)
"Return time before and after N iterations of a loop."
(let ((t1 (current-time-string)))
(while (> (setq n (1- n))
0))
(list t1 (current-time-string))))
=> silly-loop
(disassemble 'silly-loop)
=>
byte code for silly-loop:
doc: Return time before and after N iterations of a loop.
args: (n)
0 constant current-time-string
1 call 0
2 varbind t1
3:1 varref n
4 sub1
5 dup
6 varset n
7 constant 0
8 gtr
9 goto-if-not-nil 1
12 varref t1
13 constant current-time-string
14 call 0
15 unbind 1
16 list2
17 return
What does the number at the left side mean (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3:1, ... ,
17)? It isn't explained in the Emacs Lisp manual. Can anybody help?
Thanks.

It's the (byte) position of the code in the byte-code.

I still don't understand. Can you explain it more detailed? For example, "3:1" is confusing.

"3:1" is "byte number 3, label number 1". So "goto 1" will jump to byte 3.
