component variable as inout parameter</td>

<tr class="even print">
<td class="print-category">Description</td>
<td colspan="5" class="print">CR6731 raised a problem to specify the
exact behaviour of inout parameters. During resolving this CR it was
realized that passing a structure and also its field as inout parameters
would allow making the element-parameter implicitly uninitialized.
Therefore, this case has been forbidden by restriction m)of clause
5.4.2.<br />
<br />
Note: this implicitly uninitializing probem doesn't exist for mandatory
record/set fields, but for the reason of a simpler rule they have also
been disallowed.<br />
<br />
The principal same problem exists if a field/element of a component
variable is passed as inout parameter to a function with a runs on
clause referring directly or via compatibility to the component type
containing the structured variable definition. However it was considered
that this case shall be handled more cautiously, as there is much higher
chance to invalidate existing and working test suites then by the above
restriction. Therefore it was decided that more time is required to get
user feedback and thus no restriction is added to V4.7.1 on this
case.</td>
