An empty derivation of Struct.

Sometimes you only want to transmit a message without data, e.g. a command to end the receiver. Then it would be to much overhead (both for programming and for compiling) to define a new class for all those messages. As a solution this class is defined. You simply have to make instances of this class, constructed with the corresponding StructId (It still has to be unique, see vmStruct). As an example see the following:

      Pvm::EmptyStruct Begin (BeginId);
      Pvm::EmptyStruct End (EndId);
      
      Pvm::Task Task;
      Begin.Receive (Task);
      End.Send (Task);
      

EmptyStruct(StructId Id)

constructs an instance of EmptyStruct with Id as the StructId.

This class has no child classes.
