This is only true for reference, immutable and some kinds of external classes. Abstract a, partial and most external classes cannot have instances.

9

The void test returns true for all integers with a value of 0 and booleans with a value of false. In general, the void test is not useful for immutable classes.

10

Implementation Note: The compiler currently does not always detect this illegal case.

11

We use the term 'method' here to indicate that the same description is applicable to both iterators, which have not yet been introduced, and routines.

12

Frequently called the contravariant conformance rule to distinguish it from the more restrictive C++ rule of invariance and the unsafe Eiffel rule (of covariance in the argument types). Hence, the co- vs. contra variance debate just refers to the behavior of the argument types.

13

Efficiency in converting to FORTRAN was more important for mathematical entitites which will be used with existing mathematical libraries such as BLAS and LAPACK, most of which are in FORTRAN.

14

Earlier versions of Sather 1.0 defined separate routines for each of these operators.

15

In fact, you can look at the tail half of the protect as a typecase on the exception object.

16

The current Sather 1.1 implementation disallows returning Fortran strings of size greater than 32 bytes. This restriction may be lifted in the future releases.

17

The ICSI Sather 1.1 compiler currently does not implement this functionality.

18

The other built-in basic types are defined as arrays of BOOL and all have their values set to void by this rule.
