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 -- Note that this interface should remain synchronized with those in
40 -- GNAT.Table and GNAT.Dynamic_Tables to keep coherency between these
41 -- three related units.

57 package Table is
59 -- Table_Component_Type and Table_Index_Type specify the type of the
60 -- array, Table_Low_Bound is the lower bound. Index_type must be an
61 -- integer type. The effect is roughly to declare:
63 -- Table : array (Table_Index_Type range Table_Low_Bound .. <>)
64 -- 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. The value used is Opt.Table_Factor * Table_Initial.
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 Table_Name parameter is simply use in debug output messages it
84 -- has no other usage, and is not referenced in non-debugging mode.
86 -- The Last and Set_Last subprograms provide control over the current
87 -- logical allocation. They are quite efficient, so they can be used
88 -- freely (expensive reallocation occurs only at major granularity
89 -- chunks controlled by the allocation parameters).
91 -- Note: We do not make the table components aliased, since this would
92 -- restrict the use of table for discriminated types. If it is necessary
93 -- to take the access of a table element, use Unrestricted_Access.
95 -- WARNING: On HPPA, the virtual addressing approach used in this unit
96 -- is incompatible with the indexing instructions on the HPPA. So when
97 -- using this unit, compile your application with -mdisable-indexing.
99 -- WARNING: If the table is reallocated, then the address of all its
100 -- components will change. So do not capture the address of an element
101 -- and then use the address later after the table may be reallocated.
102 -- One tricky case of this is passing an element of the table to a
103 -- subprogram by reference where the table gets reallocated during
104 -- the execution of the subprogram. The best rule to follow is never
105 -- to pass a table element as a parameter except for the case of IN
106 -- mode parameters with scalar values.

113 -- We work with pointers to a bogus array type that is constrained
114 -- with the maximum possible range bound. This means that the pointer
115 -- is a thin pointer, which is more efficient. Since subscript checks
116 -- in any case must be on the logical, rather than physical bounds,
117 -- safety is not compromised by this approach.

123 Table : aliased Table_Ptr := null;

125 -- Logically the upper bound is the current value of Last (although
126 -- the actual size of the allocated table may be larger than this).
127 -- The program may only access and modify Table entries in the range
128 -- First .. Last.
130 Locked : Boolean := False;
131 -- Table expansion is permitted only if this switch is set to False. A
132 -- client may set Locked to True, in which case any attempt to expand
133 -- the table will cause an assertion failure. Note that while a table
134 -- is locked, its address in memory remains fixed and unchanging. This
135 -- feature is used to control table expansion during Gigi processing.
136 -- Gigi assumes that tables other than the Uint and Ureal tables do
137 -- not move during processing, which means that they cannot be expanded.
138 -- The Locked flag is used to enforce this restriction.
