Foil 38 When Are Two Mappings the Same?

From DoD HPF Training -- 4. HPF Data Mapping Facilities DoD Training and Others -- 1995-98. by Chuck Koelbel -- Rice University


1 There are several cases where HPF requires mappings to be ³compatible²
  • Parameter passing with implicit interfaces
  • Parameter passing with explicit descriptive mappings (sort of)
  • Pointer association
2 ³Compatible² is defined by a partial ordering
  • A mapping is ³more specialized² (or ³more generalized²) than another if it has more information (or less information)
  • Some mappings canıt be compared
3 You can avoid learning the detailed rules!
  • Always ALIGN things that ought to have the same mapping
  • Always use explicit interfaces
