49 -- This function scans the string starting at Str (Ptr.all) for a valid
50 -- integer according to the syntax described in (RM 3.5(43)). The substring
51 -- scanned extends no further than Str (Max). There are three cases for the
52 -- return:
54 -- If a valid integer is found after scanning past any initial spaces, then
55 -- Ptr.all is updated past the last character of the integer (but trailing
56 -- spaces are not scanned out).
58 -- If no valid integer is found, then Ptr.all points either to an initial
59 -- non-digit character, or to Max + 1 if the field is all spaces and the
60 -- exception Constraint_Error is raised.
62 -- If a syntactically valid integer is scanned, but the value is out of
63 -- range, or, in the based case, the base value is out of range or there
64 -- is an out of range digit, then Ptr.all points past the integer, and
65 -- Constraint_Error is raised. Note that if a minus sign is present, and
66 -- the integer value is non-zero, then constraint error will be raised.
68 -- Note: these rules correspond to the requirements for leaving the pointer
69 -- 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.

79 -- modulus does not exceed the range of System.Unsigned_Types.Unsigned. Str
80 -- is the string argument of the attribute. Constraint_Error is raised if
81 -- the string is malformed, or if the value is out of range.
