Data Mappings for Pointers
In the HPF 2 core language
- Pointers and targets cannot be mapped
In the HPF 2 approved extensions
- Pointers & targets can be mapped
- DISTRIBUTE takes effect after ALLOCATE
- INHERIT declares a pointer to “anything”
- In a pointer assignment, the target’s mapping must be a specialization of the pointer's
- Pointers to array sections need INHERIT
