arrays

EL_BOOLEAN_ARRAY

Array with binary entries for true and false

EL_BYTE_ARRAY

Array of 8 bit bytes: TO_SPECIAL [NATURAL_8]

EL_PADDED_BYTE_ARRAY

bytes with a count equal to muliple of a_block_size. Creation area arguments that do not fit exactly are padded with bytes of value equal to the padding count.

Sub arrays implemented using shared memory areas rather than copied memory area. For large arrays, subarray memory copies can incurr a significant performance overhead. Using shared memory subarrays can in some applications reduce execution time by as much as 50%. (hard to believe I know)

Sub array can be referenced using either lower to upper indexes of parent array or 1 based index.

EL_TUPLE_TYPE_ARRAY

Array of TUPLE parameter types: ARRAY [TYPE [ANY]]
