A.18.11 The Generic Package Containers.Indefinite_Vectors

1/2

The language-defined generic package Containers.Indefinite_Vectors provides a private type Vector and a set of operations. It provides the same operations as the package Containers.Vectors (see A.18.2), with the difference that the generic formal Element_Type is indefinite.

Static Semantics

2/3

The declaration of the generic library package Containers.Indefinite_Vectors has the same contents and semantics as Containers.Vectors except:

3/2

The generic formal Element_Type is indefinite.

4/2

The procedures with the profiles:

5/2

procedure Insert (Container : in out Vector;
Before : in Extended_Index;
Count : in Count_Type := 1);

6/2

procedure Insert (Container : in out Vector;
                  Before    : in     Cursor;
                  Position  :    out Cursor;
                  Count     : in     Count_Type := 1);

7/2

are omitted.

8/2

The actual Element parameter of access subprogram Process of Update_Element may be constrained even if Element_Type is unconstrained.

9/4

The operations "&", Append, Insert, Prepend, Replace_Element, and To_Vector that have a formal parameter of type Element_Type perform indefinite insertion (see A.18).

10/5

The description of Tampering_With_Elements_Prohibited is replaced by:

11/5

Returns True if tampering with elements is prohibited for Container, and False otherwise.

12/5

Tampering_With_Cursors_Prohibited is replaced by Tampering_With_Elements_Prohibited in the postcondition for the operations Reference and Constant_Reference.

13/5

The operations Replace_Element, Reverse_Elements, and Swap, and the nested generic unit Generic_Sorting are omitted from the nested package Stable.
