In article 899, on the uncertainty of integer type conversion,
Dave Emery, concludes:
" So the implementor can pick how he wants to round. This strikes me as
a portability bug, but, on the other hand, I don't have a lot of sympathy
for people who depend on these kinds of type conversion...."
Obtaining the integer part of a real number strikes me as a reasonable thing
to want to do in a software engineering application. How are you meant to do
this in Ada ?
