/*{\Mexample In the first example we store a pair of boolean values
|
|
which normally fit into one word. Thus there will no heap allocation
|
|
take place.
|
|
\begin{Mverb}
|
|
struct A { bool a,b };
|
|
GenPtr a;
|
|
geninfo<A>::create(a);
|
|
A& a_access = geninfo<A>::access(a);
|
|
geninfo<A>::clear(a);
|
|
\end{Mverb}
|
|
The second example uses the heap scheme as two longs do not fit into
|
|
one word.
|
|
\begin{Mverb}
|
|
struct B { long a,b };
|
|
GenPtr b;
|
|
geninfo<B>::create(b);
|
|
B& b_access = geninfo<B>::access(b);
|
|
geninfo<B>::clear(b);
|
|
\end{Mverb}
|
|
Note that usage of the scheme takes away with the actual check for the
|
|
type size. Even more important this size might depend on the platform
|
|
which is used to compile the code and thus the scheme enables platform
|
|
independent programming.}*/
