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.)
