-
- <p>Conformant arrays are a feature of Modula-2, and perhaps other
- languages, in which the size of an array parameter is not known to the
- called function until run-time. Such parameters have two stabs: a
- ‘<samp>x</samp>’ for the array itself, and a ‘<samp>C</samp>’, which represents the size
- of the array. The value of the ‘<samp>x</samp>’ stab is the offset in the
- argument list where the address of the array is stored (it this right?
- it is a guess); the value of the ‘<samp>C</samp>’ stab is the offset in the
- argument list where the size of the array (in elements? in bytes?) is
- stored.
