Subject: Re: Custom Storage Pool questions

Message-ID: <9bc55d72-b90e-45c5-bfd8-cbce565d139dn@googlegroups.com> (raw)

Followup question cause Randy's statement (below) got me thinking:
If a compiler is allowed to break up an allocation into multiple
calls to Allocate (and of course Deallocate), how does one go about
enforcing that the user's header is only created once?  In the example
Randy gave (unconstrained arrays), in Janus there is an allocation for the 
descriptor and a separate allocation for the data.  If I am making a storage
pool that is intending to create a hidden header for my objects, this means
in Janus Ada (and potentially other compilers) I would instead create two
headers, one for the descriptor and one for the data, when I might intend
to have one header for the entire object.
