78-680: In 2004, the Managed C++ extensions were significantly revised to clarify and simplify syntax and expand functionality to include managed generics . These new extensions were designated C++/CLI and included in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 . The term Managed C++ and the extensions it refers to are thus deprecated and superseded by the new extensions. Microsoft introduced Managed Extensions for C++ in Microsoft Visual C++ 2002 (MSVC++). Microsoft attempted to minimise

156-404: A map unless a comparison is provided. Unfortunately, compilers historically generate somewhat esoteric, long, and unhelpful error messages for this sort of error. Ensuring that a certain object adheres to a method protocol can alleviate this issue. Languages which use compare instead of < can also use complex values as keys. Another kind of template, a class template, extends

234-460: A class template just use specializations of it without needing to know whether the compiler used the primary specialization or some partial specialization in each case. Class templates can also be fully specialized, which means that an alternate implementation can be provided when all of the parameterizing types are known. Some uses of templates, such as the max() function, were formerly filled by function-like preprocessor macros (a legacy of

312-402: A compiler can make it crash when parsing some large source file, a simplification of the test case that results in only few lines from the original source file can be sufficient to reproduce the same crash. Trial-and-error/divide-and-conquer is needed: the programmer will try to remove some parts of the original test case and check if the problem still exists. When debugging the problem in a GUI,

390-440: A demonstration, the standard type complex does not define the < operator, because there is no strict order on complex numbers . Therefore, max(x, y) will fail with a compile error, if x and y are complex values. Likewise, other templates that rely on < cannot be applied to complex data unless a comparison (in the form of a functor or function) is provided. E.g.: A complex cannot be used as key for

468-457: A direct approach would implement each algorithm specifically for each data structure, giving N × M combinations to implement. However, in the generic programming approach, each data structure returns a model of an iterator concept (a simple value type that can be dereferenced to retrieve the current value, or changed to point to another value in the sequence) and each algorithm is instead written generically with arguments of such iterators, e.g.

546-540: A few simple readability transformations made code shorter and drastically reduced the time to understand it. Following a consistent programming style often helps readability. However, readability is more than just programming style. Many factors, having little or nothing to do with the ability of the computer to efficiently compile and execute the code, contribute to readability. Some of these factors include: The presentation aspects of this (such as indents, line breaks, color highlighting, and so on) are often handled by

624-458: A framework of templates for common data structures and algorithms. Templates in C++ may also be used for template metaprogramming , which is a way of pre-evaluating some of the code at compile-time rather than run-time . Using template specialization, C++ Templates are Turing complete . There are many kinds of templates, the most common being function templates and class templates. A function template

702-509: A major determinant of data structure choice. Generic programming similarly has been applied in other domains, e.g. graph algorithms. Although this approach often uses language features of compile-time genericity and templates, it is independent of particular language-technical details. Generic programming pioneer Alexander Stepanov wrote, Generic programming is about abstracting and classifying algorithms and data structures. It gets its inspiration from Knuth and not from type theory. Its goal

780-478: A pair of iterators pointing to the beginning and end of the subsequence or range to process. Thus, only N + M data structure-algorithm combinations need be implemented. Several iterator concepts are specified in the STL, each a refinement of more restrictive concepts e.g. forward iterators only provide movement to the next value in a sequence (e.g. suitable for a singly linked list or a stream of input data), whereas

858-447: A random-access iterator also provides direct constant-time access to any element of the sequence (e.g. suitable for a vector). An important point is that a data structure will return a model of the most general concept that can be implemented efficiently— computational complexity requirements are explicitly part of the concept definition. This limits the data structures a given algorithm can be applied to and such complexity requirements are

936-470: A result, loses efficiency and the ability for low-level manipulation). Debugging is a very important task in the software development process since having defects in a program can have significant consequences for its users. Some languages are more prone to some kinds of faults because their specification does not require compilers to perform as much checking as other languages. Use of a static code analysis tool can help detect some possible problems. Normally

1014-407: A similar purpose of code-saving and rendering an abstraction. Arrays and structs can be viewed as predefined generic types. Every usage of an array or struct type instantiates a new concrete type, or reuses a previous instantiated type. Array element types and struct element types are parameterized types, which are used to instantiate the corresponding generic type. All this is usually built-in in

1092-615: A simple DLL file. Notes: The following contains main points and programmatic standards that differ between Managed C++ and other well known programming languages that are similar in concept. Disadvantages Advantages Differences Disadvantages Advantages Differences Disadvantages Advantages Generic programming Generic programming is a style of computer programming in which algorithms are written in terms of data types to-be-specified-later that are then instantiated when needed for specific types provided as parameters . This approach, pioneered in

1170-411: A type, a subprogram, or even an instance of another, designated, generic unit. For generic formal types, the syntax distinguishes between discrete, floating-point, fixed-point, access (pointer) types, etc. Some formal parameters can have default values. To instantiate a generic unit, the programmer passes actual parameters for each formal. The generic instance then behaves just like any other unit. It

1248-459: A visual environment. Different programming languages support different styles of programming (called programming paradigms ). The choice of language used is subject to many considerations, such as company policy, suitability to task, availability of third-party packages, or individual preference. Ideally, the programming language best suited for the task at hand will be selected. Trade-offs from this ideal involve finding enough programmers who know

1326-414: Is template specialization . This allows alternative implementations to be provided based on certain characteristics of the parameterized type that is being instantiated. Template specialization has two purposes: to allow certain forms of optimization, and to reduce code bloat. For example, consider a sort() template function. One of the primary activities that such a function does is to swap or exchange

1404-410: Is Entity-Relationship Modeling ( ER Modeling ). Implementation techniques include imperative languages ( object-oriented or procedural ), functional languages , and logic programming languages. It is very difficult to determine what are the most popular modern programming languages. Methods of measuring programming language popularity include: counting the number of job advertisements that mention

1482-460: Is a lightweight generic programming approach for Haskell. In this article we distinguish the high-level programming paradigms of generic programming , above, from the lower-level programming language genericity mechanisms used to implement them (see Programming language support for genericity ). For further discussion and comparison of generic programming paradigms, see. Genericity facilities have existed in high-level languages since at least

1560-551: Is a pattern for creating ordinary functions based upon the parameterizing types supplied when instantiated. For example, the C++ Standard Template Library contains the function template max(x, y) that creates functions that return either x or y, whichever is larger. max() could be defined like this: Specializations of this function template, instantiations with specific types, can be called just like an ordinary function: The compiler examines

1638-580: Is defined in Musser & Stepanov (1989) as follows, Generic programming centers around the idea of abstracting from concrete, efficient algorithms to obtain generic algorithms that can be combined with different data representations to produce a wide variety of useful software. The "generic programming" paradigm is an approach to software decomposition whereby fundamental requirements on types are abstracted from across concrete examples of algorithms and data structures and formalized as concepts , analogously to

SECTION 20

1716-414: Is defined. Common inheritance is not needed for the set of types that can be used, and so it is very similar to duck typing . A program defining a custom data type can use operator overloading to define the meaning of < for that type, thus allowing its use with the max() function template. While this may seem a minor benefit in this isolated example, in the context of a comprehensive library like

1794-607: Is directly executed by the central processing unit . Proficient programming usually requires expertise in several different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain , details of programming languages and generic code libraries , specialized algorithms, and formal logic . Auxiliary tasks accompanying and related to programming include analyzing requirements , testing , debugging (investigating and fixing problems), implementation of build systems , and management of derived artifacts , such as programs' machine code . While these are sometimes considered programming, often

1872-464: Is little more than a different notation for a machine language, two machines with different instruction sets also have different assembly languages. High-level languages made the process of developing a program simpler and more understandable, and less bound to the underlying hardware . The first compiler related tool, the A-0 System , was developed in 1952 by Grace Hopper , who also coined

1950-516: Is most likely the preferred option. Managed C++ is geared towards object-oriented programming. A major difference between standard C++ and Managed C++ is that multiple inheritance is not supported, and a class managed under the CLR's garbage collector cannot inherit more than one class. This is because of a limitation of the CLR. Key features: The following examples depict the use of Managed C++ as compared to standard C++: A new preprocessor directive

2028-417: Is no need to call the delete operator. To achieve the same with unmanaged code, the delete keyword is required: Notes: the public keyword to modify the access of the a __gc designated class. A __gc designated class can be destroyed manually using the delete keyword, but only if the __gc designated class has a user-defined destructor. The preceding code must be compiled with /clr and /LD to produce

2106-485: Is not an error ( SFINAE )), and code bloat : So, can derivation be used to reduce the problem of code replicated because templates are used? This would involve deriving a template from an ordinary class. This technique proved successful in curbing code bloat in real use. People who do not use a technique like this have found that replicated code can cost megabytes of code space even in moderate size programs. Computer programming Computer programming or coding

2184-450: Is often used as a "bridge". Programs coded in Managed C++ provide additional functionality of the .NET Framework and the CLR . Most notable of these is garbage collection , which relieves the programmer of manual memory management. The garbage collector (GC) is handled by the CLR. Memory management is executed quite quickly, but for more performance critical applications, native, unmanaged code

2262-473: Is often used for abstraction or code terseness, however this is not typically labeled genericity as it's a direct consequence of the dynamic typing system employed by the language. The term has been used in functional programming , specifically in Haskell -like languages, which use a structural type system where types are always parametric and the actual code on those types is generic. These uses still serve

2340-400: Is possible to instantiate generic units at run-time , for example inside a loop. The specification of a generic package: Instantiating the generic package: Using an instance of a generic package: The language syntax allows precise specification of constraints on generic formal parameters. For example, it is possible to specify that a generic formal type will only accept a modular type as

2418-484: Is required. In addition to that, more #using directives are required to import more libraries to use more namespaces in the Base Class Library, such as and to use Windows Forms. /clr enables any code referencing the .NET Framework to be compiled as CIL . The preceding code can be compiled and executed without any fear of memory leaks . Because class gc is managed under the garbage collector, there

2496-431: Is run in, or managed by, the .NET virtual machine that functions as a sandbox for enhanced security in the form of more runtime checks, such as buffer overrun checks. Additionally, applications written in Managed C++ compile to CIL —Common Intermediate Language—and not directly to native CPU instructions like standard C++ applications do. Managed C++ code could inter-operate with any other language also targeted for

2574-542: Is still strong in corporate data centers often on large mainframe computers , Fortran in engineering applications, scripting languages in Web development, and C in embedded software . Many applications use a mix of several languages in their construction and use. New languages are generally designed around the syntax of a prior language with new functionality added, (for example C++ adds object-orientation to C, and Java adds memory management and bytecode to C++, but as

2652-578: Is the algorithmic usage of exchangeable sub-classes: for instance, a list of objects of type Moving_Object containing objects of type Animal and Car . Templates can also be used for type-independent functions as in the Swap example below: The C++ template construct used above is widely cited as the genericity construct that popularized the notion among programmers and language designers and supports many generic programming idioms. The D language also offers fully generic-capable templates based on

2730-401: Is the composition of sequences of instructions, called programs , that computers can follow to perform tasks. It involves designing and implementing algorithms , step-by-step specifications of procedures, by writing code in one or more programming languages . Programmers typically use high-level programming languages that are more easily intelligible to humans than machine code , which

2808-736: Is the incremental construction of systematic catalogs of useful, efficient and abstract algorithms and data structures. Such an undertaking is still a dream. I believe that iterator theories are as central to Computer Science as theories of rings or Banach spaces are central to Mathematics. Bjarne Stroustrup noted, Following Stepanov, we can define generic programming without mentioning language features: Lift algorithms and data structures from concrete examples to their most general and abstract form. Other programming paradigms that have been described as generic programming include Datatype generic programming as described in "Generic Programming – an Introduction". The Scrap your boilerplate approach

2886-434: Is usually easier to code in "high-level" languages than in "low-level" ones. Programming languages are essential for software development. They are the building blocks for all software, from the simplest applications to the most sophisticated ones. Allen Downey , in his book How To Think Like A Computer Scientist , writes: Many computer languages provide a mechanism to call functions provided by shared libraries . Provided

2964-460: The C language). For example, here is a possible implementation of such macro: Macros are expanded (copy pasted) by the preprocessor , before program compiling; templates are actual real functions. Macros are always expanded inline; templates can also be inline functions when the compiler deems it appropriate. However, templates are generally considered an improvement over macros for these purposes. Templates are type-safe. Templates avoid some of

3042-509: The CLR such as C# and Visual Basic .NET as well as make use of features provided by the CLR such as garbage collection . This means Managed C++ occupies a unique position in the gallery of .NET languages. It is the only language that can communicate directly with .NET languages (such as C#, VB.NET) as well as native C++. The other .NET languages can only communicate with C++ code via PInvoke or COM . But since Managed C++ can communicate directly in both managed and standard C++ contexts, it

3120-504: The Jacquard loom could produce entirely different weaves by changing the "program" – a series of pasteboard cards with holes punched in them. Code-breaking algorithms have also existed for centuries. In the 9th century, the Arab mathematician Al-Kindi described a cryptographic algorithm for deciphering encrypted code, in A Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages . He gave

3198-488: The compiler and the syntax differs from other generic constructs. Some extensible programming languages try to unify built-in and user defined generic types. A broad survey of genericity mechanisms in programming languages follows. For a specific survey comparing suitability of mechanisms for generic programming, see. When creating container classes in statically typed languages, it is inconvenient to write specific implementations for each datatype contained, especially if

Managed Extensions for C++ - Misplaced Pages Continue

3276-518: The compiler can execute code while compiling and one can create new compiler keywords and new implementations for those words on the fly. It has few words that expose the compiler behaviour and therefore naturally offers genericity capacities that, however, are not referred to as such in most Forth texts. Similarly, dynamically typed languages, especially interpreted ones, usually offer genericity by default as both passing values to functions and value assignment are type-indifferent and such behavior

3354-511: The programming language ML in 1973, permits writing common functions or data types that differ only in the set of types on which they operate when used, thus reducing duplicate code . Generic programming was introduced to the mainstream with Ada in 1977. With templates in C++ , generic programming became part of the repertoire of professional library design. The techniques were further improved and parameterized types were introduced in

3432-439: The source code editor , but the content aspects reflect the programmer's talent and skills. Various visual programming languages have also been developed with the intent to resolve readability concerns by adopting non-traditional approaches to code structure and display. Integrated development environments (IDEs) aim to integrate all such help. Techniques like Code refactoring can enhance readability. The academic field and

3510-471: The 1970s in languages such as ML , CLU and Ada , and were subsequently adopted by many object-based and object-oriented languages, including BETA , C++ , D , Eiffel , Java , and DEC 's now defunct Trellis-Owl . Genericity is implemented and supported differently in various programming languages; the term "generic" has also been used differently in various programming contexts. For example, in Forth

3588-568: The 9th century, a programmable music sequencer was invented by the Persian Banu Musa brothers, who described an automated mechanical flute player in the Book of Ingenious Devices . In 1206, the Arab engineer Al-Jazari invented a programmable drum machine where a musical mechanical automaton could be made to play different rhythms and drum patterns, via pegs and cams . In 1801,

3666-526: The AE in 1837. In the 1880s, Herman Hollerith invented the concept of storing data in machine-readable form. Later a control panel (plug board) added to his 1906 Type I Tabulator allowed it to be programmed for different jobs, and by the late 1940s, unit record equipment such as the IBM 602 and IBM 604 , were programmed by control panels in a similar way, as were the first electronic computers . However, with

3744-478: The C++ precedent but with a simplified syntax. The Java language has provided genericity facilities syntactically based on C++'s since the introduction of Java Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0. C# 2.0, Oxygene 1.5 (formerly Chrome) and Visual Basic (.NET) 2005 have constructs that exploit the support for generics present in Microsoft .NET Framework since version 2.0. Ada has had generics since it

3822-411: The STL it allows the programmer to get extensive functionality for a new data type, just by defining a few operators for it. Merely defining < allows a type to be used with the standard sort() , stable_sort() , and binary_search() algorithms or to be put inside data structures such as set s, heaps , and associative arrays . C++ templates are completely type safe at compile time. As

3900-635: The abstraction of algebraic theories in abstract algebra . Early examples of this programming approach were implemented in Scheme and Ada, although the best known example is the Standard Template Library (STL), which developed a theory of iterators that is used to decouple sequence data structures and the algorithms operating on them. For example, given N sequence data structures, e.g. singly linked list, vector etc., and M algorithms to operate on them, e.g. find , sort etc.,

3978-437: The actual. It is also possible to express constraints between generic formal parameters; for example: In this example, Array_Type is constrained by both Index_Type and Element_Type. When instantiating the unit, the programmer must pass an actual array type that satisfies these constraints. The disadvantage of this fine-grained control is a complicated syntax, but, because all generic formal parameters are completely defined in

4056-439: The arguments used to call max and determines that this is a call to max(int, int) . It then instantiates a version of the function where the parameterizing type T is int , making the equivalent of the following function: This works whether the arguments x and y are integers, strings, or any other type for which the expression x < y is sensible, or more specifically, for any type for which operator<

4134-414: The circumstances. The first step in most formal software development processes is requirements analysis , followed by testing to determine value modeling, implementation, and failure elimination (debugging). There exist a lot of different approaches for each of those tasks. One approach popular for requirements analysis is Use Case analysis. Many programmers use forms of Agile software development where

4212-420: The class template code can be provided when some of the template parameters are known, while leaving other template parameters generic. This can be used, for example, to create a default implementation (the primary specialization ) that assumes that copying a parameterizing type is expensive and then create partial specializations for types that are cheap to copy, thus increasing overall efficiency. Clients of such

4290-508: The code for each datatype is virtually identical. For example, in C++, this duplication of code can be circumvented by defining a class template: Above, T is a placeholder for whatever type is specified when the list is created. These "containers-of-type-T", commonly called templates , allow a class to be reused with different datatypes as long as certain contracts such as subtypes and signature are kept. This genericity mechanism should not be confused with inclusion polymorphism , which

4368-495: The code, making it easy to target varying machine instruction sets via compilation declarations and heuristics . Compilers harnessed the power of computers to make programming easier by allowing programmers to specify calculations by entering a formula using infix notation . Programs were mostly entered using punched cards or paper tape . By the late 1960s, data storage devices and computer terminals became inexpensive enough that programs could be created by typing directly into

4446-400: The common errors found in code that makes heavy use of function-like macros, such as evaluating parameters with side effects twice. Perhaps most importantly, templates were designed to be applicable to much larger problems than macros. There are four primary drawbacks to the use of templates: supported features, compiler support, poor error messages (usually with pre C++20 substitution failure

4524-467: The computers. Text editors were also developed that allowed changes and corrections to be made much more easily than with punched cards . Whatever the approach to development may be, the final program must satisfy some fundamental properties. The following properties are among the most important: Using automated tests and fitness functions can help to maintain some of the aforementioned attributes. In computer programming, readability refers to

4602-548: The concept of the stored-program computer introduced in 1949, both programs and data were stored and manipulated in the same way in computer memory . Machine code was the language of early programs, written in the instruction set of the particular machine, often in binary notation. Assembly languages were soon developed that let the programmer specify instructions in a text format (e.g., ADD X, TOTAL), with abbreviations for each operation code and meaningful names for specifying addresses. However, because an assembly language

4680-534: The deviations between standard C++ and Managed Extensions for C++, resulting in core differences between the two being syntactically obscured. MSVC++ 2003 and 2005 also provided support for writing programs in Managed C++. In 2004, Managed Extensions for C++ was deprecated in favor of C++/CLI , a second attempt by Microsoft at supporting programming for the Common Language Infrastructure using C++. Managed refers to managed code that it

4758-510: The ease with which a human reader can comprehend the purpose, control flow , and operation of source code . It affects the aspects of quality above, including portability, usability and most importantly maintainability. Readability is important because programmers spend the majority of their time reading, trying to understand, reusing, and modifying existing source code, rather than writing new source code. Unreadable code often leads to bugs, inefficiencies, and duplicated code . A study found that

4836-527: The engineering practice of computer programming are concerned with discovering and implementing the most efficient algorithms for a given class of problems. For this purpose, algorithms are classified into orders using Big O notation , which expresses resource use—such as execution time or memory consumption—in terms of the size of an input. Expert programmers are familiar with a variety of well-established algorithms and their respective complexities and use this knowledge to choose algorithms that are best suited to

4914-400: The first description of cryptanalysis by frequency analysis , the earliest code-breaking algorithm. The first computer program is generally dated to 1843 when mathematician Ada Lovelace published an algorithm to calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers , intended to be carried out by Charles Babbage 's Analytical Engine . However, Charles Babbage himself had written a program for

4992-404: The first step in debugging is to attempt to reproduce the problem. This can be a non-trivial task, for example as with parallel processes or some unusual software bugs. Also, specific user environment and usage history can make it difficult to reproduce the problem. After the bug is reproduced, the input of the program may need to be simplified to make it easier to debug. For example, when a bug in

Computer programmers are those who write computer software. Their jobs usually involve: Although programming has been presented in the media as a somewhat mathematical subject, some research shows that good programmers have strong skills in natural human languages, and that learning to code

Subsequently, D implemented the same ideas. Such software entities are known as generics in Ada , C# , Delphi , Eiffel , F# , Java , Nim , Python , Go , Rust , Swift , TypeScript , and Visual Basic (.NET) . They are known as parametric polymorphism in ML , Scala , Julia , and Haskell . (Haskell terminology also uses

5226-404: The language to build a team, the availability of compilers for that language, and the efficiency with which programs written in a given language execute. Languages form an approximate spectrum from "low-level" to "high-level"; "low-level" languages are typically more machine-oriented and faster to execute, whereas "high-level" languages are more abstract and easier to use but execute less quickly. It

5304-465: The language, the number of books sold and courses teaching the language (this overestimates the importance of newer languages), and estimates of the number of existing lines of code written in the language (this underestimates the number of users of business languages such as COBOL). Some languages are very popular for particular kinds of applications, while some languages are regularly used to write many different kinds of applications. For example, COBOL

5382-428: The parameterized type is already of some pointer-type, then there is no need to build a separate pointer array. Template specialization allows the template creator to write different implementations and to specify the characteristics that the parameterized type(s) must have for each implementation to be used. Unlike function templates, class templates can be partially specialized . That means that an alternate version of

5460-476: The programmer can try to skip some user interaction from the original problem description and check if the remaining actions are sufficient for bugs to appear. Scripting and breakpointing are also part of this process. Debugging is often done with IDEs . Standalone debuggers like GDB are also used, and these often provide less of a visual environment, usually using a command line . Some text editors such as Emacs allow GDB to be invoked through them, to provide

5538-457: The same concept to classes. A class template specialization is a class. Class templates are often used to make generic containers. For example, the STL has a linked list container. To make a linked list of integers, one writes list<int> . A list of strings is denoted list<string> . A list has a set of standard functions associated with it, that work for any compatible parameterizing types. A powerful feature of C++'s templates

5616-414: The specification, the compiler can instantiate generics without looking at the body of the generic. Unlike C++, Ada does not allow specialised generic instances, and requires that all generics be instantiated explicitly. These rules have several consequences: C++ uses templates to enable generic programming techniques. The C++ Standard Library includes the Standard Template Library or STL that provides

5694-411: The term software development is used for this larger overall process – with the terms programming , implementation , and coding reserved for the writing and editing of code per se. Sometimes software development is known as software engineering , especially when it employs formal methods or follows an engineering design process . Programmable devices have existed for centuries. As early as

5772-553: The term generic for a related but somewhat different concept.) The term generic programming was originally coined by David Musser and Alexander Stepanov in a more specific sense than the above, to describe a programming paradigm in which fundamental requirements on data types are abstracted from across concrete examples of algorithms and data structures and formalized as concepts , with generic functions implemented in terms of these concepts, typically using language genericity mechanisms as described above. Generic programming

5850-409: The term 'compiler'. FORTRAN , the first widely used high-level language to have a functional implementation, came out in 1957, and many other languages were soon developed—in particular, COBOL aimed at commercial data processing, and Lisp for computer research. These compiled languages allow the programmer to write programs in terms that are syntactically richer, and more capable of abstracting

5928-404: The values in two of the container's positions. If the values are large (in terms of the number of bytes it takes to store each of them), then it is often quicker to first build a separate list of pointers to the objects, sort those pointers, and then build the final sorted sequence. If the values are quite small however it is usually fastest to just swap the values in-place as needed. Furthermore, if

6006-560: The various stages of formal software development are more integrated together into short cycles that take a few weeks rather than years. There are many approaches to the Software development process. Popular modeling techniques include Object-Oriented Analysis and Design ( OOAD ) and Model-Driven Architecture ( MDA ). The Unified Modeling Language ( UML ) is a notation used for both the OOAD and MDA. A similar technique used for database design

6084-401: Was first designed in 1977–1980. The standard library uses generics to provide many services. Ada 2005 adds a comprehensive generic container library to the standard library, which was inspired by C++'s Standard Template Library . A generic unit is a package or a subprogram that takes one or more generic formal parameters . A generic formal parameter is a value, a variable, a constant,
