Data descriptor

In computing, a data descriptor is a structure containing information that describes data. Data descriptors may be used in compilers, as a software structure at run time in languages like Ada or PL/I, or as a hardware structure in some computers such as Burroughs large systems. rdf:langString

rdf:langString In computing, a data descriptor is a structure containing information that describes data. Data descriptors may be used in compilers, as a software structure at run time in languages like Ada or PL/I, or as a hardware structure in some computers such as Burroughs large systems. Data descriptors are typically used at run-time to pass argument information to called subroutines. HP OpenVMS and Multics have system-wide language-independent standards for argument descriptors. Descriptors are also used to hold information about data that is only fully known at run-time, such as a dynamically allocated array.
