B4J Question "If False Then" in CloudKVS?

[jmon]

Hello,

When reading the code of CloudKVS I was intrigued by line 30 of the ClientKVS Class for b4J:

'...
HandleQueue
If False Then CallSub(Me, "HandleQueue") 'to avoid obfuscation issues
'....

What is the purpose of this "If False Then.." ? Does it mean that we don't need to put an underscore in the sub name if using this technique?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. When the compiler sees a CallSub or CallSubDelayed call with a literal string then it avoids obfuscating the sub name.
