Next: Aggregates with non-static bounds, Previous: Constant aggregates with unconstrained nominal types, Up: Code Generation for Array Aggregates
In all previous examples the aggregate was the initial (and immutable) value of a constant. If the aggregate initializes a variable, then code is generated for it as a combination of individual assignments and loops over the target object. The declarations
Cr_Var1 : One_Dim := (2, 5, 7, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); Cr_Var2 : One_Dim := (others > -1);
generate the equivalent of
Cr_Var1 (1) := 2; Cr_Var1 (2) := 3; Cr_Var1 (3) := 5; Cr_Var1 (4) := 11; for I in Cr_Var2'range loop Cr_Var2 (I) := -1; end loop;
