There is not a single bit of compiler dependent code needed for that. You use the package POSIX.Memory_Maps to map the file into memory. You use "for The_Mapped_Object'Address use Address_Of_Memory_Map;" to make sure you access the mapped object at the right location in memory. Not a single bit of compiler dependence there.
