I have a value X of a fixed-point type, X >= 0.0, and I need to compute Floor(X) as an Integer. 'Truncation and 'Floor aren't defined for fixed-point types; the type conversion Integer(X) rounds; and Integer(X-0.5) fails if X=0.0. How do others do this? Or do I have to resort to an IF statement (or conditional expression in Ada 2012) to handle the different cases? -- Adam
