The (draft) ARM Annex B.3[1] says at para 73 - Note 7 -

    "To obtain the effect of C's sizeof(item_type), where Item_Type is
    the corresponding Ada type, evaluate the expression:
    size_t(Item_Type'Size/CHAR_BIT)."

Should that not be

    size_t((Item_Type'Size + CHAR_BIT - 1)/CHAR_BIT)

?
