  abstract = {
    	Modern programming languages, such as Ada (Ichbiah 80), permit
    the definition of functions that return values whose size can not be
    determined until the function returns.  This paper discusses five
    implementation techniques that can be used to implement this
    capability.  Comparisons of the techniques are provided and guidelines
    for selecting a particular technique for a compiler are given.
