ATS's void is unit. The name 'void' refers to the fact that the memory
needed
for the void-value is 0 bytes. Unfortunately, there is no type in C of 0
size (I did
try struct{}). This is the place where a theorist and an engineer differ
fundamentally.
One really needs a theorist's C in order to compile ATS faithfully.On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 9:35 AM, Brandon Barker <[email protected]> wrote: > I find the following diagram helpful to sort of know what's what in Scala: > https://www.scala-lang.org/old/node/128.html > > Now, ATS is very different, I'm not sure such a diagram could even make > sense (it isn't a language that deals with subclassing much as I understand > it).
