Re: Array Syntax

[Ludovic Brenta <ludovic@ludovic-brenta.org>]

No, what you have is an array of 35 arrays of 6 records. Each record
(of type Pixel_Data) has two components, Num_Of_Values and
Is_Valid_Data.

So:

 Buffer_Pixel_Data (12) (1).Is_Valid_Data := True;

is legal.

The index types for the outermost array and the 35 arrays within it
are different. This is good as it makes it more difficult to
inadvertently use the wrong index. For example:

for J in Buffer_Pixel_Data'Range loop
   for K in Buffer_Pixel_Range (J)'Range loop
       Buffer_Pixel_Data (K) (J) := -- ERROR
          (Num_Of_Values => 42, Is_Valid_Data => True);
   end loop;
end loop;

will give you a compile-time error because you inadvertently swapped J
and K. HTH
