Each > specifiable attribute constitutes an aspect of representation. Which is perfectly clear: the implementation can allow pretty much anything /for its own implementation defined attributes/, but standard attributes can be defined only when explicitely allowed by the standard - and those are correctly implemented by GNAT. In no case can the /programmer/ define attributes. Please stop spreading FUD. -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
