Representation Clauses and Pragmas (GNAT Reference Manual) (original) (raw)

Next: Standard Library Routines, Previous: Intrinsic Subprograms, Up: GNAT Reference Manual [Contents][Index]

This section describes the representation clauses accepted by GNAT, and their effect on the representation of corresponding data objects.

GNAT fully implements Annex C (Systems Programming). This means that all the implementation advice sections in chapter 13 are fully implemented. However, these sections only require a minimal level of support for representation clauses. GNAT provides much more extensive capabilities, and this section describes the additional capabilities provided.
