Chapter summary for MS -14;4.6 ------------- !topic t'read and t'write should use bounds rather than length !from Philippe Kruchten, Rational 1992-08-12 14:01:48 <> !reference MS-14.7.2();4.6 !keywords stream, bounds, length, unconstrained ar !discussion Instead of passing the length of arrays, I think it would be much better to pass their bounds: in many case the bounds, not the length is the relevant information, both for the sender and the receiver. Length, if needed, can be derived from the bounds. This is based on our experience in "message passing" and other RPC mechanisms. --------------------- ALL DONE.
