Subject: How to round to the nearest fixed-point value?

Hello,

from what I understood of the LRM (at least in Ada 2005 mode),
Fixed_Point_Type'Round is supposed to be a function returning a
Fixed_Point_Type value closest to its argument.

So I'm a bit surprised by the behavior of the following code:


package Lib is
   type High is delta 0.001 digits 9;
   type Low is delta 0.01 digits 9;

   function Convert (Value : High) return Low;
end Lib;


package body Lib is

   function Convert (Value : High) return Low is
   begin
      return Low'Round (Value);
   end Convert;

end Lib;


with Ada.Text_IO;
with Lib;

procedure Testcase is
   Raw_Value : constant Lib.High := 0.999;
   Shown_Value : Lib.Low;
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Lib.Low'Image (Lib.Low'Round (Raw_Value)));
   Shown_Value := Lib.Convert (Raw_Value);
   Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line (Lib.Low'Image (Shown_Value));
end Testcase;



I tried building it with gnat 4.6.3 from debian stable kfreebsd and with
gnat-aux 4.7.3 from FreeBSD ports, and in both situations I got the
following output:
 1.00
 0.99


Is there something I'm doing wrong that would trigger the truncation at
some point? Or is this a compiler bug? Would anyone know a workaround to
get correct results?


Thanks in advance for your help,
Natasha
