Where would I find the documentation for this, please? I have sought but
not found.
Would I be right in thinking that, sadly, DEC Ada is now nearly as dead as
the Dodo? If so, there isn't doesn't really seem to be any reason for me
to use the DEC Ada mechanism, other than perhaps that it is well-designed
in general and a good model to copy.
GNAT on any other platform (than VMS) uses the GCC way of inlining machine
code, which I am certainly not going to replicate.
