Box design: (c) Peter C. Chapin.
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| " Passing a parameter to an Ada subprogram can look     |
| like choosing an element of an Ada array, with a very   |
| different execution cost. "                             |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
That's another area and not part of language semantic (readability refer=
s  =

to meaning, semantic).

And you will nor see difference of execution cost between two different =
 =

functions.


-- =

There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check.
--# check C and WhoKnowWhat and YouKnowWho;
--# assert Ada;
--  i.e. forget about previous premises which leads to conclusion
--  and start with new conclusion as premise.
