Yes the reference manual covered it, that helps a lot. I also printed all the Gnat.XXX headers and here are a few just randomly picked: Gnat.Heap.Sort_G Gnat.Memory_dump Gnat.Byte_Swapping I just picked Gnat.Byte_Swapping and I tried to look for an example. I found the GNAT reference manual that gives a short description but I did not find an example of it in use. Can I assume that if Adacore included this, it's good software ? but can I also assume that I will need to post to this list and/or read through the spec and body to understand how it works?
