<h4 class="subsection">4.7.4 Passing Conformant Array Parameters</h4>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Conformant arrays are a feature of Modula-2, and perhaps other
|
||
|
languages, in which the size of an array parameter is not known to the
|
||
|
called function until run-time. Such parameters have two stabs: a
|
||
|
‘<samp>x</samp>’ for the array itself, and a ‘<samp>C</samp>’, which represents the size
|
||
|
of the array. The value of the ‘<samp>x</samp>’ stab is the offset in the
|
||
|
argument list where the address of the array is stored (it this right?
|
||
|
it is a guess); the value of the ‘<samp>C</samp>’ stab is the offset in the
|
||
|
argument list where the size of the array (in elements? in bytes?) is
|
||
|
stored.
