Re: Why constant components are not permitted ?

  type test is record
                 a : integer := 16#FFFF# ;
                 b : string ( 1 .. 4 ) := "this" ; -- is OK
                 c : string := "is" ; -- error because no define boundary
               end record ;

Reason no one ask the ARG.
