Subject: [Not important] the “not null” notation in Ada 2005
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:45:28 +0100

Message-ID: <op.vswop2cgule2fv@index.ici> (raw)

I remember some peoples says here, this is a pity to have “not null”  
annotations, while the case which should be clearly marked, is the one  
where a reference may be null. I'm OK with that principle. But concretely  
what would have been the notation ? “may be null” ? Two reserved words  
added for that ? A simple “null” would not have been really expressive  
(just a though I get right a few minutes ago).
