Daniel,

 

The 'singular' limitation is intentional. Note that class handles are
singular types, which would be the preferred mechanism for passing
large, structured messages.

Subject: [sv-ec] only singular types allowed in mailboxes

 

There is no explicit statment that mailbox allows only singular types,
but mailbox functions headers are:

task put( singular message);

While singular is defined as:

    A singular type shall be any data type except an unpacked structure,
unpacked union, or unpacked array

From above I can tell that unpacked strucures is forbidden for mailboxes
(both parametrized and not parametrized) was it intented restriction?

Is there any rationale behind that?
