"(Publicly disputing Robert Dewar is always dangerous. Fortunately it's
a bounded error; the effect is limited to learning something.)"
Actually Keith has a pretty good track record in such disputes, he is
seldom wrong :-)
Well in fact I don't see a significant dipute here, I agree with everything
Keith said. The one interesting additional piece of information is that
there is another compiler besides Intermetrics that made Natural'Size 31.
I certainly am aware that Alsys makde Natural'Size be 31, and I am
(painfully, because it causes some compatibility problems for some of
our customers) aware that Verdix made Natural'Size 32. Keith for interest
which compiler made natural'Size 31? It's interesting to know, since it
means that the Ada 95 decision is more justified (i.e. we had a chaotic
non-portable situation in Ada 83, and Ada 95 eliminated the non-portability,
but was bound to cause some incompatibilities for certain implementations
when it did so.
