Wtf are these traps

[EK.IceFlake]

When trying to reverse engineer squirrel bytecode I get some traps

Are they to simply make life hard for reverse engineers or do they serve some actual purpose?

Just a random guess. A scope/context. That is: a pair of curly braces.

Code Select Expand

function A(x)
{
    local y;
    if (x == y)
    {
        local z = x+y;
        print(z);
    } // <- Trap variables (z) in this scope and release them here
    // `z` doesn't exist here
} // <- Trap variables (x/y) in this scope and release them here
 A(3);
 // x,y don't exist here

Fun fact, these actually aren't TRAPs, they're PARTs in little-endian.

Is that Visual Studio?
