Subject: Generic in out object parameters
Date: 1997/04/16
Date: 1997-04-16T00:00:00+00:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Forum.861207636.14373.petera@woodlands> (raw)
A generic unit may have an generic object parameter of mode in out. I understand that this acts as a renaming of the actual parameter supplied when the unit is instantiated.
Can someone give me a good motivating example of why this is useful?
I'm not looking for an example that illustrates the mechanism - I understand that. I'm looking for a real-world example that illustrates how the mechanism is useful.
Thanks.
PA
