There are three additional functions, ``datasize(x)``, ``dataoffset(x)`` and ``datacopy(t, f, l)``,
which are used to access other parts of a Yul object.
``datasize`` and ``dataoffset`` can only take string literals (the names of other objects)
as arguments and return the size and offset in the data area, respectively.
For the EVM, the ``datacopy`` function is equivalent to ``codecopy``.

The remaining bytes will retain their values as of before the call. If the call fails (it returns ``0``),
nothing is written to that area, but you can still retrieve the failure data using ``returndatacopy``.
In some internal dialects, there are additional functions:

setimmutable, loadimmutable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The functions ``setimmutable("name", value)`` and ``loadimmutable("name")`` are
used for the immutable mechanism in Solidity and do not nicely map to pur Yul.
The function ``setimmutable`` assumes that the runtime code of a contract
is currently copied to memory at offsot zero. The call to ``setimmutable("name", value)``
will store ``value`` at all points in memory that contain a call to
``loadimmutable("name")``.
