An enumeration_representation_clause specifies the internal codes for enumeration literals.
Syntax
enumeration_representation_clause ::= for first_subtype_local_name use enumeration_aggregate; enumeration_aggregate ::= array_aggregate
Name Resolution Rules
The enumeration_aggregate shall be written as a one-dimensional array_aggregate, for which the index subtype is the unconstrained subtype of the enumeration type, and each component expression is expected to be of any integer type.
Legality Rules
The first_subtype_local_name of an enumeration_representation_clause shall denote an enumeration subtype.
The expressions given in the array_aggregate shall be static, and shall specify distinct integer codes for each value of the enumeration type; the associated integer codes shall satisfy the predefined ordering relation of the type.
Static Semantics
An enumeration_representation_clause specifies the coding aspect of representation. The coding consists of the internal code for each enumeration literal, that is, the integral value used internally to represent each literal.
Implementation Requirements
For nonboolean enumeration types, if the coding is not specified for the type, then for each value of the type, the internal code shall be equal to its position number.
Implementation Advice
The recommended level of support for enumeration_representation_clauses is:
NOTES
Examples
Example of an enumeration representation clause:
type Mix_Code is (ADD, SUB, MUL, LDA, STA, STZ); for Mix_Code use (ADD => 1, SUB => 2, MUL => 3, LDA => 8, STA => 24, STZ =>33);
