All implementations, in order to be compliant would need to produce the same result on the same machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John McCabe" Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada To: Sent: September 03, 2001 3:23 AM Subject: Re: Text IO On 31 Aug 2001 18:15:37 -0700, dewar@gnat.com (Robert Dewar) wrote: >john.mccabe@emrad.com.nospam (John McCabe) wrote in message news:<3b8cac5b.3843987@news.demon.co.uk>... >> On 28 Aug 2001 09:19:31 -0700, mraikes@vt.edu (Matt Raikes) wrote: >> >> The 'Image and 'Value attribute results are, I believe, >> implementation dependant. > >That is incorrect, the semantics are fully >defined in the RM. Of course, but I was thinking of floating point numbers in particular at the time of writing where the image depends on S'Digits. As base subtypes of float have a 'Digits attribute depending on 'Machine_Radix and 'Model_Mantissa there is clearly some implementation dependence here. I have found that, in general, 'Image is ideal for printing out information for trace and debug purposes, but you really need to use the xxx_IO facilities to get fine control over your output representation.
