Recent research has begun to report that female enduser programmers are often more reluctant than males to employ features that are useful for testing and debugging. These earlier...
This article discusses the tools that Ada offers to deal with dynamic memory problems. The article shows how the storage pools mechanism of Ada 95 can be extended to enpower devel...
