Message-ID: <34fcb5c5.33132164@SantaClara01.news.InterNex.Net> (raw)
Is there a way to use Stream_IO to read a file produced by other than
the program doing the reading, in particular, a file binary file
produced, say, with C? The RM indicates the representation is
implementation defined, and 'read apparently quite ignores rep
clauses, so I find one compiler reads integer things of 'size 8 or 16
as 16, and another reads size 16 things as size 32. I hate to read
into a String and then do Unchecked_Conversions or 'address overlays,
but I don't see any other portable approach. Help!
