Vijay, thanks a lot for this clarification. Yes, it does help a lot. Apparently I managed to learn C++ without getting to know the above notion of field. Presumably that happens if you focus on numerical algorithms rather than computer science. There may be others that are in the same situation like me. So I still would appreciate if your clarification would make its way into the X10 documentation. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Dr. Christoph Pospiech High Performance & Parallel Computing Phone: +49-351 86269826 Mobile: +49-171-765 5871 E-Mail: christoph.pospi...@de.ibm.com ------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Erich Clementi Geschäftsführung: Martin Jetter (Vorsitzender), Reinhard Reschke, Christoph Grandpierre, Klaus Lintelmann, Michael Diemer, Martina Koederitz Sitz der Gesellschaft: Ehningen / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 14562 WEEE-Reg.-Nr.
