    {
      int y, z;
      if (x == 1);           // + 1 Parameters count
      if (x == 2);           // + 1 Duplicates count
      if (y == 1);           // + 1 Locals count
      if (y == 2);           // + 1 Duplicates count
      if (my_global == 1);   // + 1 Globals count
      if (my_global == 2);   // + 1 Duplicates count
    }                        // CountObjectsUsed = 6
