A.5.4 Attributes of Fixed Point Types

Static Semantics

1
The following representation−oriented attributes are defined for every subtype S of a fixed point type T.

2
S'Machine_Radix

Yields the radix of the hardware representation of the type T. The value of this attribute is of the type universal_integer.

3
S'Machine_Rounds

Yields the value True if rounding is performed on inexact results of every predefined operation that yields a result of the type T; yields the value False otherwise. The value of this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

4
S'Machine_Overflows

Yields the value True if overflow and divide−by−zero are detected and reported by raising Constraint_Error for every predefined operation that yields a result of the type T; yields the value False otherwise. The value of this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.
