Subject: fixed point types over an interface
Date: 1997/02/07
Date: 1997-02-07T00:00:00+00:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <32FBB550.41C67EA6@efogm.msd.ray.com> (raw)


With Ada83, is it safe to assume that two different
compilers will store a fixed point type in the same way?

For example

Two processors are communicating over an interface.  The
applications for each processor are written/compiled
using compilers from two different vendors.

If each application has

type FX_PT_TYPE is delta .001 range -100 .. +100;
Variable : FX_PT_TYPE := 1.345;

Will the binary representation of 'Variable' 
be the same with both compilers?

Any help would be appreciated.
