The >present release does no dynamic allocations at all for bounded >structures (well, if it does, it's a bug). I'm very glad to hear that. The proper attitude is far more important than whether its perfect yet. I'd say it'd also be nice if there were no "suprise" dynamic allocations in the unbounded ones either (eg: during lookups). That would allow for use in situations where heap manipulation is OK during startup and shutdown, but not during runtime. But getting the bounded ones clean is more important. My main concern for a standard Ada component library is that it be carefully designed so that as much of it as possible is usable in real-time apps, without sacrificing capability that would be useful for other apps. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
