Class Description

This is an abstract superclass for Array classes, classes that provide some methods like at: or charAt: for indexing their contents, which are elements of some particular C type. A typical example is the String class.

This abstract class is useful for implementing functionality, that is inherited by such classes as:

In addition, this class is necessary for compatibility with Stepstone's ICpak101.

Note: Because the Portable Object Compiler doesn't provide any API for indexed variables, our Array classes, although interface compatible with those of ICpak101, do not allocate their contents as indexed variables.
