Oh, you are right, I didn't test it, because I just don't need this
feature (yet).

So when I write the following code (this one works), the string in
"name" will ALWAYS occupy 15 bytes?


   subtype Max_Index is Natural range 0 .. 15;
   
   type Test (length : natural := 0) is
     record
        text : string (1..length);
     end record;

name : Test;



Thanks!

P.S. It's no homework, just a hobby.
