If there's no rep spec, then there's no guaranteed layout. Different
compilers may do it differently, or according to the phases of the
moon.
At run time, if you have an appropriate piece of code, it could
determine things using the storage place attributes, eg
R.Field1'Position, R.Field1.First_Bit, etc. Could you make a tool
using ASIS to tell the types, and generate code to tell the positions?
