Ada. Time-tested, safe and secure.

This language feature is available from Ada 95 on. Ada.Storage_IO is a unit of the Predefined Language Environment since Ada 95.

Description

Ada.Storage_IO is not a general-purpose Input/Output package. It is designed for concurrent programming, and can be used to transfer elements from one task to another.

It allows you to store one element inside a memory buffer. The element needs to be of a definite subtype.
