SS design flaw note, may apply to AHH :

[Michael Rule]

variable initialation is more closely tied to memory allocation than it is
to the abstract definition of a state variable.

Therefore, it makes more sense to explicitely initialize state
variables after memory allocation,
rather than defining an abstrction functional definition of initial
conditions, which is what we do currently.

[Cyrus Omar]

In cl.egans, there is an allocation phase that sets aside the required amount of memory and then an initialization phase per division to initialize that buffer.

how does the user define what happens in the initialization phase ?

[Cyrus Omar]

You can specify a callback that receives the buffer that needs to be initialized and you can do whatever you want with it.
