44 -- This package is patterned after Ada.Containers.Indefinite_Holders. It is
45 -- used to treat indefinite subtypes as definite, but without using heap
46 -- allocation. For example, you might like to say:
48 -- type A is array (...) of T'Class; -- illegal
50 -- Instead, you can instantiate this package with Element_Type => T'Class,
53 -- type A is array (...) of Holder;
55 -- Each object of type Holder is allocated Max_Size_In_Storage_Elements
56 -- bytes. If you try to create a holder from an object of type Element_Type
57 -- that is too big, an exception is raised (assuming assertions are
58 -- enabled). This applies to To_Holder and Set. If you pass an Element_Type
59 -- object that is smaller than Max_Size_In_Storage_Elements, it works fine,
60 -- but some space is wasted.
62 -- NOTE: If assertions are disabled, and you try to use an Element that is
63 -- too big, execution is erroneous, and anything can happen, such as
64 -- overwriting arbitrary memory locations.
