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

* Martin Krischik:

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.

The problem in past GNAT versions was that 'Size was not actually a
univeral integer, but a 32-bit type. Since it's measured in bits, it
limits object size to 256 MB on all architectures.

Has this been fixed?
