<, It appears that means "No. It is not possible for a user program to
run FPU detection code before a Gnat program has crashed and burned,
unless the programmer has used special vendor supplied hooks". Is that
correct?>>
"special vendor supplied hooks???"
Don't know what you are talking about, I am talking about the call to
__gnat_initialize which is intended exactly for this purpose. It may
work to do this at the start of the main program, or in elaboration
code for a user unit, but since __gnat_initialize is EXACTLY intended
for this kind of purpose (to get control BEFORE any elaboration code
is activated), why would you not use it???
