Your note [1] left out one alternative -- "no value is known," or unspecified. For example, in C: extern char *cstr; char *p = (char*)malloc(1 + strlen(cstr) + 1); strcpy(&p[1], cstr); The value of p[0] is indeterminate/unspecified, not necessarily NULL and not guaranteed to have a default value. This is (surprise) just like sparse arrays. :) Did you omit that option on purpose? /r$ [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2002Jan/0057.html -- Zolera Systems, http://www.zolera.com Information Integrity, XML SecurityReceived on Friday, 18 January 2002 12:04:38 UTC
