Re: Passing arrays to procedures

[Jeffrey Carter <spam@spam.com>]

Ada allows nested scopes:

procedure Outer is
    type Blah is array (Something range <>) of Something_Else;

    procedure Inner (X : in Blah) is
    ...
    end Blah;

    V : Blah := ...;
begin -- Outer
    Inner (X => V);
end Outer;

However, the primary form of encapsulation in Ada is the package.
