Hi all,
I have a question about the "use at" feature and how it can be used
inside a record to simulate C's unions. I often have an array of
bytes, as well as a string which is "use at"'ed on top of the byte
buffer, very useful as I can play with the data in any way I choose.
i.e.
byte_buf: array(1..100) of unsigned_8;
str_buf: string(1..100);
for str_buf use at byte_buf'address;
Is it possible to have something like this within a record?
TIA,
Phil
