Ulm's Oberon Library:
VolatileShards

NAME

VolatileShards - not quite persistent shards

SYNOPSIS

TYPE Pot = POINTER TO PotRec;
TYPE PotRec = RECORD (Shards.PotRec) END;
TYPE Lid = POINTER TO LidRec;
TYPE LidRec = RECORD (Shards.LidRec) END;



PROCEDURE Create(VAR pot: Shards.Pot; VAR lid: Shards.Lid);

DESCRIPTION

VolatileShards implements a shard type that stays valid only within a single process, because lids get changed on transmission via PersistentObjects.Read/Write.

Create returns in pot a pot all original lids of this module fit to. Original are lids obtained by Create or Shards.Supply, but not PersistentObjects.Read.
