GNAT attempts to allocate the maximum size when an object with a defaulted
discriminant is declared, since different sized values can be assigned to
it. The alternative, used in the old Alsys compilers, is to allocate for
the defaulted size, then perform reallocation during assignment if a
differently sized value is assigned. Both approaches are allowed
implementations with different tradeoffs.
