int call(address [a1 ...])
address - function address. It can be a user-defined function, dll function, sub-function or other code. For user-defined functions, you can also use function's name as string, or QM item id.
a1 ... - arguments.
Calls a function by address, not by name. It allows you to choose a function at run time. For example, you can use it to call a callback function. Use operator & to get function address.
Returns called function's return value, which must be of type int.
Argument types and number must match exactly. They are not converted. Composite types (str, interface pointers, etc) cannot be passed by value. Variables passed by reference must be with operator &, like &var.
Callback functions should handle errors (use err if need). On unhandled error the thread ends, even if the caller uses err to handle errors.

Function MyFunction: function# int'i str&s ... ________________________________ Call MyFunction in usual way: str s="string" int r = MyFunction(1 s) Call myfunction with call: str s="string" int fa = &MyFunction int r = call(fa 1 &s) or str fn = "MyFunction" r = call(fn 1 &s) or int iid = qmitem("MyFunction") r = call(iid 1 &s)
