And when it's passed from a 64 bit system to a 32 bit system what
happens to the extra 32 bits? Or do you mean that sometimes the Ada
code talks to some C code that expects 32 bits, and other times the
same Ada must talk to a differently compiled version of the same C
code, but one that expects 64 bits? In which case, why not
standardize on the Ada 32 bits (using a rep clause) and do the usual
preprocessor stuff for making a C program "portable"?
