A.18.24 The Generic Package Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets
1/3
{
AI05-0001-1}
The language-defined generic package Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets
provides a private type Set and a set of operations. It provides the
same operations as the package Containers.Ordered_Sets (see A.18.9),
with the difference that the maximum storage is bounded.Static Semantics
2/3
{
AI05-0001-1}
The declaration of the generic library package
Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets has the same contents and semantics as
Containers.Ordered_Sets except:3/3
4/3
The
type Set is declared with a discriminant that specifies the capacity
(maximum number of elements) as follows:
5/3
type Set (Capacity : Count_Type) is tagged private;
6/3
The type Set needs finalization
if and only if type Element_Type needs finalization.
6.a/3
Implementation Note:
{
AI05-0212-1}
The type Set cannot depend on package Ada.Finalization
unless the element type depends on that package. The objects returned
from the Iterator and Reference functions probably do depend on package
Ada.Finalization. Restricted environments may need to avoid use of those
functions and their associated types.
7/3
If Insert (or Include) adds
an element, a check is made that the capacity is not exceeded, and Capacity_Error
is raised if this check fails.
8/3
In procedure Assign, if Source
length is greater than Target capacity, then Capacity_Error is propagated.
9/3
The
function Copy is replaced with:
10/3
function Copy (Source : Set;
Capacity : Count_Type := 0) return Set;
11/3
Returns a set whose elements
are initialized from the values in Source. If Capacity is 0, then the
set capacity is the length of Source; if Capacity is equal to or greater
than the length of Source, the set capacity is the specified value; otherwise,
the operation propagates Capacity_Error.
Bounded (Run-Time) Errors
12/3
{

{
AI05-0265-1}
It is a bounded error to use
a bounded set if it was the target of an assignment_statement
whose source was in the middle of an operation that prohibits tampering
with elements [or cursors]. Either Program_Error is raised, or the operation
proceeds as defined. Implementation Requirements

For each instance of Containers.Ordered_Sets and
each instance of Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets, if the two instances
meet the following conditions, then the output generated by the Set'Output
or Set'Write subprograms of either instance shall be readable by the
Set'Input or Set'Read of the other instance, respectively:14/3
{
AI05-0184-1}
{
AI05-0248-1}
the Element_Type parameters of the two instances
are statically matching subtypes of the same type; and15/3
{
AI05-0184-1}
the output generated by Element_Type'Output or
Element_Type'Write is readable by Element_Type'Input or Element_Type'Read,
respectively (where Element_Type denotes the type of the two actual Element_Type
parameters). Implementation Advice
16/3
{
AI05-0001-1}
Bounded set objects should be implemented without
implicit pointers or dynamic allocation. 17/3

AI05-0001-1}
The implementation advice for procedure Move to
minimize copying does not apply. Extensions to Ada 2005
