Implementing local variable support

[G 3]

Hi, I am currently trying to implement local variable support for  
OpenBIOS. I was just wonder if someone understood this code:

{ ; dpth }

I understand that the two brackets mean this is a local variable, and  
dpth is the name of the variable, but what does ; mean in this context?

I think name before ";" are function parameters (from the stack), name
after ";" are local variables.

It looks like this is explained by a few of the links Alex posted last 
month:
