I'm curious about 'mod' types. If i define a type 'byte' like so
* type byte is mod 256;
will it occupy one byte of memory.
similarly if i define
* type word is mod 65536
will it occupy two bytes.
This is important for IO and for memory in the simulation. Is it compiler
dependant? I'm using GNAT 3.13p just in case this is so.
As i was writing i suddenly realised i got a problem with little/big
endian-ness. I'm writing files on an Athlon(so it's x86) which is little(i
think). If i port to a M68000 say, which is big endian (again i'm unsure),
what should i do to convert the 'bytecode' file. I dunno what to do with
this. I do plan to port to other platforms in the future so this is
important. Is it true that all networks use big endian? Anyway this is for
the future, just thought i'd ask in case i need to plan ahead for this.
