<td colspan="5" class="print">The rules for using value list notation
for arrays don't specify what should happen if the value list contains a
different amount of items than the array size. I assume that longer list
is not allowed (using the rules describing arrays as a short-hand for a
fixed size record-of and applying the constraint) and shorter value
lists would be fine (just leaving the remaining items uninitialized).
Nevertheless, I would prefer an explicit rule or note to be added into
the specification to avoid any kind of different interpretations.</td>

<br />
Applying the rules for record of, the first assignment goes through and
the second one produces an error. The problem is that the section on
arrays doesn't say directly that these rules shall be apply, so there's
a certain degree of uncertainty.<br />
<br />
It would be nice to have explicit guidelines for these two cases.</td>

<td class="print">As arrays are just a different notation for record of
types with fixed length restrictions (and maybe an offset), the same
restrictions as for those apply.<br />
<br />
In section 6.2.3 it is stated:<br />
<br />
"Already initialized elements left without a corresponding list member
in a value list notation (i.e. at the end of a list) are becoming
uninitialized."<br />
<br />
So it is explicitly allowed to assign a shorter list, even if it was
already longer. The missing elements remain uninitialized. Since a
longer list would definitely violate the fixed length restriction, that
is out of the question, too.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I think there is no action required here.</td>

<td class="print">I think what Tomas is missing is just an explicit
statement or reference to 6.2.3.<br />
<br />
Actually, in $6.2.3 we have:<br />
"When using the value list notation, all elements in the structure shall
be specified either with a value or the not used symbol "-". The first
member of the list is assigned to the first element, the second list
member is assigned to the second element, etc. No empty assignment is
allowed (e.g. two commas, the second immediately following the first or
only with white space between them). Elements to be left out of the
assignment shall be explicitly skipped in the list by use of the
not-used-symbol "-". Already initialized elements left without a
corresponding list member in a value list notation (i.e. at the end of a
list) are becoming uninitialized. In this way, a value with initialized
elements can be made empty by using the empty value list notation
("{}")."<br />
<br />
and in 6.2.7:<br />
"The values of array elements shall be compatible with the corresponding
variable or type declaration. Values may be assigned individually by a
value list notation or indexed notation or more than one or all at once
by a value list notation or index assignment notation. &gt;&gt;When the
value list notation is used, the first value of the list is assigned to
the first element of the array (the element with index 0 or the lower
bound if an index range has been given), the second value to the next
element, etc. Elements to be left out from the assignment shall be
explicitly skipped in the list by using dash. For using the assignment
notation for arrays, the rules described in 6.2.3 are valid for arrays
as well.&lt;&lt;"<br />
<br />
I think that the text in 6.2.7 between &gt;&gt; and &lt;&lt; could be
just replaced by<br />
"For using the value list and the assignment notations for arrays, the
rules described in 6.2.3 are valid for arrays as well."<br />
