/*	      GDB - System Data Type Definitions
/*	
/*	Author: Noah Mendelsohn
/*	Copyright: 1986 MIT Project Athena 
/*		For copying and distribution information, please see
/*	  	the file <mit-copyright.h>.
/*	
/*	This file initializes the definitions for all system defined
/*	data types, and it includes the type specific semantic routines
/*	for each of the system defined types.
/*	
/*	The initialization routine which adds these type definitions 
/*	to the type definition table is at the end of this source file.
/*	
/************************************************************************/
/*	
/*	This file is organized into one section for each system
/*	defined type followed at the end by a final section which
/*	initializes the type tables.  Each of the type specific
/*	sections does #defines for each type specific parameter.  The
/*	gdb_i_stype initialization routine at the end of this source
/*	file uses these defines to initialize the appropriate entry in
/*	the type definition tables.
/*	
/*	NOTE: some of the type definitions in this file may be machine
/*	dependent.

/*			     TUPLE_DATA_T
/*	
/*	The distinction between tuple_data_t and tuple_t is a
/*	subtle one.  Tuple_t is used when a single tuple is to
/*	be decoded, outside of any larger context.  It (re)allocates
/*	memory for both the tuple itself and its descriptor.
/*	
/*	Tuple_data is used in the case where the tuple and its
/*	descriptor are already allocated, but only the data is 
/*	to be received.  This is useful in cases like receiving an
/*	entire relation, in which the descriptor is common to 
/*	all the tuples, and should not be resent or reallocated
/*	with each one.  Receive relation can send the tuple descriptor
/*	once, then do a create_tuple followed by a decode tuple_data
/*	to receive the tuple field data into the existing tuple.
/*	
/*	Note that the definition of null is different in the two cases.
/*	The null value for a tuple is just a null pointer.  The null
/*	for tuple data is to null each of the fields in the tuple
/*	recursively.  The routines in this section may dereference
/*	null pointers if the tuples they are passed are null.  Note
/*	also that there is one less level of indirection in passing
/*	data to these routines than to those of tuple_t.  
/*	
/*	Note  also that the null and decode routines supplied here
/*	presume that any fields with dependent memory (e.g. string_t
/*	fields have already been cleaned up.)
/*	
/*	Note that this is not quite a kosher type, in the sense that
/*	it's length is not fixed.  The entry for length below 
/*	is meaningless, because the real length is computed from the
/*	desc.  Among other things, this means that TUPLEs cannot
/*	contain fields of this type.
