Marc,

For what it is worth, I cant answer the LRM interpretation, haven't
researched it yet. Maybe Hoos, or one of the others. But changing the 10.0
to integer 10 matches the "*" definition in package standard (gnat). It
then works. See following.

procedure Tf is

  D : Duration := 5.0;

  Dec_Delt : Integer := Integer(D * 10 + 0.5);

begin
    null;
end Tf;


linux:~/atest> ada tf.adb
gcc -c -g tf.adb
gnatbind -x tf.ali
gnatlink -g tf.ali


cheers...bob
