>From the fact that you don't know how big your types are, it sounds like yo=
u are using pre-defined types. In Ada, the prefered way is to define your o=
wn types with the range that matches your requirements. That way, you will =
know, at compile time, whether the compiler can implement those types on th=
e target platform.
