Subject: setting 'Size and unchecked conversion safe here?
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2005 18:52:32 +0000
Date: 2005-02-11T18:52:32+00:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mailman.130.1108147882.527.comp.lang.ada@ada-france.org> (raw)

I need to store access-to-subprogram values in a 64-bit modular type. I 
write

    for My_Access_To_Subprogram_Type'Size use 64;

and GNAT warns me about 32 bits being unused. But Unchecked_Conversion 
between the access and the modular works fine. Now, is it working fine 
by chance or by language definition?

(I know how I can write it differently, but if the above is safe I'd 
rather leave it as it is.)

Thanks a lot.

(This happens in both Mac OS X and Windows XP.)
