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

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.

100 -- compromised by this approach. These types should not be used by the
