35 -- This package contains routines for scanning decimal values where the size
36 -- of the type is no greater than Standard.Integer'Size, for use in Text_IO.

42 function Scan_Decimal
43 (Str : String;
44 Ptr : access Integer;
45 Max : Integer;
46 Scale : Integer)
47 return Integer;
48 -- This function scans the string starting at Str (Ptr.all) for a valid
49 -- real literal according to the syntax described in (RM 3.5(43)). The
50 -- substring scanned extends no further than Str (Max). There are three
51 -- cases for the return:
53 -- If a valid real literal is found after scanning past any initial spaces,
54 -- then Ptr.all is updated past the last character of the literal (but
55 -- trailing spaces are not scanned out). The value returned is the value
56 -- Integer'Integer_Value (decimal-literal-value), using the given Scale
57 -- to determine this value.
59 -- If no valid real literal is found, then Ptr.all points either to an
60 -- initial non-digit character, or to Max + 1 if the field is all spaces
61 -- and the exception Constraint_Error is raised.
63 -- If a syntactically valid integer is scanned, but the value is out of
64 -- range, or, in the based case, the base value is out of range or there
65 -- is an out of range digit, then Ptr.all points past the integer, and
66 -- Constraint_Error is raised.
68 -- Note: these rules correspond to the requirements for leaving the
69 -- pointer positioned in Text_Io.Get
71 -- Note: if Str is null, i.e. if Max is less than Ptr, then this is a
72 -- special case of an all-blank string, and Ptr is unchanged, and hence
73 -- is greater than Max as required in this case.
75 function Value_Decimal (Str : String; Scale : Integer) return Integer;
76 -- Used in computing X'Value (Str) where X is a decimal types whose size
77 -- does not exceed Standard.Integer'Size. Str is the string argument of
78 -- the attribute. Constraint_Error is raised if the string is malformed
79 -- or if the value is out of range, otherwise the value returned is the
80 -- value Integer'Integer_Value (decimal-literal-value), using the given
81 -- Scale to determine this value.
