unconstrainted arrays

[Alfred Hilscher <Alfred.Hilscher@icn.siemens.de>]

Hi,

I know that I can define unconstrainted array where the actual
constraints are given later:

type My_Array is array (<>) of Integer;

A1 : My_Array (1..10);



Moreover I know a way to use this with structure:

type s (len : integer) is record
            X,Y : Integer;
            A : My_Array (1..Len);
     end record;

PTs : s (10);


But this would add one extra component to the record (Len). Is there a
way to avoid this extra component ? Maybe a pragma or rep-specs ? Its
encapsulated within a package body for HW handling where the extra
component is unwanted.

Thanks.
