Re: Largest size array in Gnat 2005 for the PC?

What is the largest array (in storage units) that you can declare in Gnat
2005 for the PC?

How much virtual memory does your computer have?

Does pragma Storage_ size affect this and if so where would you place it in
a procedure?

No, the array index used affect the maximum size. I suggest you read:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/array

and consider what would happen if "Index_Range" is of type
Long_Long_Integer and if you computer has enough memory to hold such a
beast.

PS: There is no "GNAT 2005" - There is

1) "GNAT GPL 2005" which is 3 releases old - the current release is GNAT
GPL 2007-2
2) Ada 2005: which is a standard and as such puts no restriction or
arrays size whatsoever.
