35 -- other than those in packages Standard and System. See unit Exp_Imgv for
36 -- details of the format of constructed image tables.

47 -- Used to compute Enum'Value (Str) where Enum is some enumeration type
48 -- other than those defined in package Standard. Names is a string with
49 -- a lower bound of 1 containing the characters of all the enumeration
50 -- literals concatenated together in sequence. Indexes is the address
51 -- of an array of type array (0 .. N) of Natural_8, where N is the
52 -- number of enumeration literals in the type. The Indexes values are
53 -- the starting subscript of each enumeration literal, indexed by Pos
54 -- values, with an extra entry at the end containing Names'Length + 1.
55 -- The parameter Num is the value N - 1 (i.e. Enum'Pos (Enum'Last)).
56 -- The reason that Indexes is passed by address is that the actual type
57 -- is created on the fly by the expander.
59 -- Str is the argument of the attribute function, and may have leading
60 -- and trailing spaces, and letters can be upper or lower case or mixed.
61 -- If the image is found in Names, then the corresponding Pos value is
62 -- returned. If not, Constraint_Error is raised.
