IndexType Struct Reference
[Compiler]

#include <type_desc.h>

Detailed Description

IndexType has been modified to store a key, and a string representation of the set of indices. As it stands the set of indices is of very little utility. For example, if we had "foo[1,2,3,4] IS_A thing;" then what would be saved is 1,2,3,4. -- which is useful Likewise "foo[fooset - [thingset]] IS_A thing;" we would have "fooset thingset -" -- which is not very useful.

So we now save a string representation of the set.

Apparently, the above statement about sets could only have been made by someone "with no real clue about the instantiate process", and "Both representations are critical to have, and since they are cheap, we will have both. The string IS a string from the symbol table."
