34 -- Resizable one dimensional array support
36 -- This package provides an implementation of dynamically resizable one
37 -- dimensional arrays. The idea is to mimic the normal Ada semantics for
38 -- arrays as closely as possible with the one additional capability of
39 -- dynamically modifying the value of the Last attribute.
41 -- This package provides a facility similar to that of GNAT.Table, except
42 -- that this package declares a type that can be used to define dynamic
43 -- instances of the table, while an instantiation of GNAT.Table creates a
44 -- single instance of the table type.
46 -- Note that this interface should remain synchronized with those in
47 -- GNAT.Table and the GNAT compiler source unit Table to keep as much
48 -- coherency as possible between these three related units.

52 type Table_Index_Type is range <>;
54 Table_Low_Bound : Table_Index_Type;
55 Table_Initial : Positive;
56 Table_Increment : Natural;
58 package GNAT.Dynamic_Tables is
60 -- Table_Component_Type and Table_Index_Type specify the type of the
61 -- array, Table_Low_Bound is the lower bound. Index_type must be an
62 -- integer type. The effect is roughly to declare:
64 -- Table : array (Table_Low_Bound .. <>) of Table_Component_Type;
66 -- Note: since the upper bound can be one less than the lower
67 -- bound for an empty array, the table index type must be able
68 -- to cover this range, e.g. if the lower bound is 1, then the
69 -- Table_Index_Type should be Natural rather than Positive.
71 -- Table_Component_Type may be any Ada type, except that controlled
72 -- types are not supported. Note however that default initialization
73 -- will NOT occur for array components.
75 -- The Table_Initial values controls the allocation of the table when
76 -- it is first allocated, either by default, or by an explicit Init
77 -- call.
79 -- The Table_Increment value controls the amount of increase, if the
80 -- table has to be increased in size. The value given is a percentage
81 -- value (e.g. 100 = increase table size by 100%, i.e. double it).
83 -- The Last and Set_Last subprograms provide control over the current
84 -- logical allocation. They are quite efficient, so they can be used
85 -- freely (expensive reallocation occurs only at major granularity
86 -- chunks controlled by the allocation parameters).
88 -- Note: we do not make the table components aliased, since this would
89 -- restrict the use of table for discriminated types. If it is necessary
90 -- to take the access of a table element, use Unrestricted_Access.

98 -- with the maximum possible range bound. This means that the pointer
99 -- is a thin pointer, which is more efficient. Since subscript checks
100 -- in any case must be on the logical, rather than physical bounds,
101 -- safety is not compromised by this approach.
