-- Reduced the size of the interface by a factor of 2 (hiding more structure inside).
Changed by MBrown on February 17, 1980 6:46 PM
-- Added CheckVecPage to interface. (This can’t be written without SHARING the interface).
Changed by MBrown on February 17, 1980 8:22 PM
-- Fixed bug in slotIndex -> slot computation; added PRIVATE IndexToSlot to localize this
--information.
Changed by MBrown on February 17, 1980 10:21 PM
-- Renamed HighSlotOFPage -> HighSlotIndexOfPage. Added PRIVATE IndexToOffset
--for use in CompactPage.
Changed by MBrown on February 24, 1980 11:37 AM
-- Made length field of VecHeader PUBLIC. Added WordsLeftOnPage, and stopped having
--AllocVec, FreeVec, and ModifyVec return the number of words left. Changed VecPageHeader
--to VecPage, and "LONG POINTER --TO Page--" to "LONG POINTER TO VecPage", to gain
--more type checking.
Changed by MBrown on February 24, 1980 1:01 PM
-- Compiler had fatal error (no intelligible message) while compiling StorageVecImpl. Fix
--was to make TypeOfSlot and other inlines NOT call IndexToSlot, instead manually substituting
--the body. This apparently saves space in pass 5.
Changed by MBrown on August 22, 1980 4:21 PM
-- Added WordsInLargestAllocableVec to interface.
Changed by MBrown on September 26, 1980 11:21 AM
-- Used exception BadSlotIndex from new DBException.
