Hello!

the short version of my question is this:  If I'm using enumerations 
to
define names that will represent specific bit patterns that my program
may
wish to use, do *all* these bit patterns allocate space? e.g.  with 
this:

   type DCD_Mode_Type is
      (CARRIER_DETECT, SYNC_DETECT, LOW, HIGH);
   for DCD_Mode_Type'Size use 2;
   for DCD_Mode_Type use
      (CARRIER_DETECT => 2#00#,
       SYNC_DETECT    => 2#01#,
       LOW            => 2#10#,
       HIGH           => 2#11#
       );

is space allocated for each of these definitions?  I ask because I 
added
many of these types to a package I'm writing, and my memory map seems 
to
have grown even without using these types yet.  
I'd like to have these names available for use, but taking no more 
space
than what is necessary (like #define in C...) (I would only be using 1
definition per application, no need for space declared for all 
definitions...)

I'm using Ada 83, but I don't think that matters.

Thanks.
