bundle.cvh

CIVL-C includes a type named $bundle, declared in the CIVL-C standard header bundle.cvh. A bundle is basically a sequence of data, wrapped into an atomic package. A bundle is created using a function that specifies a region of memory. One can create a bundle from an array of integers, and another bundle from an array of reals. Both bundles have the same type, $bundle. They can therefore be entered into an array of $bundle, for example. Hence bundles are useful for mixing objects of different (even statically unknown) types into a single data structure. Later, the contents of a bundle can be extracted with another function that specifies a region of memory into which to unpack the bundle; if that memory does not have the right type to receive the contents of the bundle, a runtime error is generated. The bundle type and its functions are provided by the library bundle.cvh. The relevant functions for creating and manipulating bundles are given in ...
