Subject: Is this a GNAT bug???

Message-ID: <db500a4f.0204260836.340512d6@posting.google.com> (raw)
I originally posted a question regarding pragma pack, but after
stripping away all the details I found what may be a bug, or just
something I don't understand about low level programming. I will post
it, and it is brief code, but in a nutshell an array of 64 bits packs
fine, but an array of 65 bits does not!
I will post code here that is actually compilable, unlike my last
message :)
I am using gnat3.13p on Sparc Solaris
Here is the WORKING, NO ERRORS code:
package test is
type ONE_BIT_TYPE is range 0..1;
for ONE_BIT_TYPE'SIZE use 1;
type ARRAY_OF_64_BITS_TYPE is array (1..64) of ONE_BIT_TYPE;
pragma pack (ARRAY_OF_BITS_TYPE);
type MY_TYPE is record
ARRAY_OF_64_BITS : ARRAY_OF_64_BITS_TYPE;
end record;
pragma pack (MY_TYPE);
for MY_TYPE use record
ARRAY_OF_64_BITS at 0 range 0..63;
end record;
end test;
** NOW just replace 64 with 65 (and 63 with 64 on range) and Voila',
you get the error:
"size of ARRAY_OF_65_BITS too small, minimum allowed is 72"
Here is the OFFENDING code:
package test is
type ONE_BIT_TYPE is range 0..1;
for ONE_BIT_TYPE'SIZE use 1;
type ARRAY_OF_65_BITS_TYPE is array (1..65) of ONE_BIT_TYPE;
pragma pack (ARRAY_OF_BITS_TYPE);
type MY_TYPE is record
ARRAY_OF_65_BITS : ARRAY_OF_65_BITS_TYPE;
end record;
pragma pack (MY_TYPE);
for MY_TYPE use record
ARRAY_OF_65_BITS at 0 range 0..64;
end record;
end test;
So why can't I pack a bit array of 65 bits or more bits? Anyone have
any comments?
