Pascal (Language): Programming
built 607 days ago
A particularly successful concept was the integration of pointers into static typing as suggested by Hoare [3] and adopted in Pascal. The simple idea is to attribute a fixed type not only with every data object, but ... with every pointer, such that a pointer variable can at any time only refer to an object of the type to which it is bound (or to none at all). Programming with pointers, then called list processing, notoriously fraught with pitfalls, now became as safe as programming without pointers.
