Indeed if any Ada 95 compiler *does* ignore this very sensible implementation advice, it would be interesting to look in annex M of their documentation and see what the justification was (possibly Ada 83 compatibility :-) Anyway, to even attempt writing this is incorrect, and it will not work on many systems. The proper thing is to use the To_Address function in System.Storage_Elements. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
