Using n normally defined integer with the bounds set to - 2GB .. 2GB,
this type of unbound record size can range from 0 to 2GB.
All though today, most systems have 8 to 64 GB of main memory and up
to 256 TB ( 2 ** 64 ) of virtual storage the Ada compiler does not
know at compile time, the total run-time system memory or how much
memory may be allocated to your program. To correct this add a
discriminant type or subtype
-- Same size as just using "Integer' but compiler does not
-- generate the storage warnings
subtype D_Integer is Integer range 0 .. Integer ' Last ;
type My_String ( Length : D_Integer := 0 ) is record
Str: String ( 1 .. Length ) ;
end record ;
You could say that GNAT is being overly touchy on some standard
statements when using predefined types such as "Integer" or types
that could cause a problem.

There are 2 ways to implement such a type. One allocates just as much space as the current value (plus some small fixed overhead); the other allocates enough space for the largest value. Some argue that Ichbiah intended the former, and there is at least one compiler that does it that way. It appears that you're using a compiler that uses the latter, and every such object will take at least Integer'Last bytes. It also appears that you're attempting to reinvent Ada.Strings.Bounded. -- Jeff Carter "Insufficient laughter--that's grounds for divorce." Play It Again, Sam 126

Because you provided a default value.
It should have been:
type My_String (Length: Natural) is record
Str: String (1..Length);
end record;
Or in the case of a varying length string with an upper bound:
type My_String Size: Natural) is record
Length : Natural := 0;
Str: String (1..Size);
end record;

A more frequent use case is a constant string allocated and initialized once. Ada.Strings.Bounded is practically unusable. Unbounded_String offers no advantage over custom type because it requires explicit conversion to String, and is suspicious for allocating more memory in advance than actually required.

RM is silent about the memory usage strategy. I agree that Ada.Strings.Bounded has a poor interface. I rarely use it. But when I do need bounded strings, I find the advantages of reuse usually outweight the disadvantages of the poor interface. Using the standard library has the advantages of being more likely to be correct, requiring less development effort, and being easier for future readers to understand. If you're worried about the implementation of an abstraction in the standard library in absence of any evidence that it is responsible for being unable to meet your requirements then you probably shouldn't be using Ada. Ada (and software engineering) is largely about abstraction and not worrying about implementations unless one has to. -- Jeff Carter "Insufficient laughter--that's grounds for divorce."

Provided the library is used properly. Unbounded_String is not intended for keeping constant strings. Or, considering another example of its frequent *misuse*, for having String out-parameters. > If you're worried about the implementation of an abstraction in the standard > library in absence of any evidence that it is responsible for being unable to > meet your requirements then you probably shouldn't be using Ada. Ada (and > software engineering) is largely about abstraction and not worrying about > implementations unless one has to. I am worried about using wrong abstractions, which is poor engineering. Unbounded_String is firstly poorly designed (should have been a type related to String) and secondly is designed for a different purpose (Strings of varying length). -- Regards, Dmitry A.

Error out instead of warn, i.e. warning('error', id)
In previous versions of Matlab (at least in R2007a), one could set the status of a warning message to be 'error'. This would cause any function encountering that particular warning to error out instead of just issuing a warning. The behavior was undocumented, and apparently has been removed from more recent versions of Matlab. I only recently discovered the error status possibility, but I found this little technique to be very helpful, both to permanently change certain warnings to errors (such as the inexact match error, 'MATLAB:dispatcher:InexactMatch', which used to d...
