Ada Programming/Attributes/'To Address
Description
[edit | edit source]System'To_Address (X) is a GNAT specific attribute with the same purpose of function System.Storage_Elements.To_Address. The only difference is that it can be used in preelaborated units where non-static calls are not allowed. X is a value of that type System.Storage_Elements.Integer_Address (an implementation-defined integer type), and note that this attribute is not applied to the type of X but always to package System.
Example
[edit | edit source]Using the standard Ada To_Address function:
for Sensor'Address use System.Storage_Elements.To_Address (16#0FF2_1234#);
Using the GNAT specific To_Address attribute:
for Sensor'Address use System'To_Address (16#0FF2_1234#);
