A. Predefined Language Attributes
This annex summarizes the definitions given elsewhere of the predefined
language attributes.
P'ADDRESS For a prefix P that denotes an object, a program unit, a
label, or an entry:
Yields the address of the first of the storage units
allocated to P. For a subprogram, package, task unit, or
label, this value refers to the machine code associated
with the corresponding body or statement. For an entry
for which an address clause has been given, the value
refers to the corresponding hardware interrupt. The
value of this attribute is of the type ADDRESS defined in
the package SYSTEM. (See 13.7.2.)
P'AFT For a prefix P that denotes a fixed point subtype:
Yields the number of decimal digits needed after the
point to accommodate the precision of the subtype P,
unless the delta of the subtype P is greater than 0.1, in
which case the attribute yields the value one. (P'AFT is
the smallest positive integer N for which (10**N)*P'DELTA
is greater than or equal to one.) The value of this
attribute is of the type universal_integer. (See
3.5.10.)
P'BASE For a prefix P that denotes a type or subtype:
This attribute denotes the base type of P. It is only
allowed as the prefix of the name of another attribute:
for example, P'BASE'FIRST. (See 3.3.3.)
P'CALLABLE For a prefix P that is appropriate for a task type:
Yields the value FALSE when the execution of the task P
is either completed or terminated, or when the task is
abnormal; yields the value TRUE otherwise. The value of
this attribute is of the predefined type BOOLEAN. (See
9.9.)
P'CONSTRAINED For a prefix P that denotes an object of a type with
discriminants:
A - 1
Yields the value TRUE if a discriminant constraint
applies to the object P, or if the object is a constant
(including a formal parameter or generic formal parameter
of mode in); yields the value FALSE otherwise. If P is
a generic formal parameter of mode in out, or if P is a
formal parameter of mode in out or out and the type mark
given in the corresponding parameter specification
denotes an unconstrained type with discriminants, then
the value of this attribute is obtained from that of the
corresponding actual parameter. The value of this
attribute is of the predefined type BOOLEAN. (See
3.7.4.)
A - 2
P'CONSTRAINED For a prefix P that denotes a private type or subtype:
Yields the value FALSE if P denotes an unconstrained
nonformal private type with discriminants; also yields
the value FALSE if P denotes a generic formal private
type and the associated actual subtype is either an
unconstrained type with discriminants or an unconstrained
array type; yields the value TRUE otherwise. The value
of this attribute is of the predefined type BOOLEAN.
(See 7.4.2.)
1
P'COUNT For a prefix P that denotes an entry of a task unit:
Yields the number of entry calls presently queued on the

calling task). The value of this attribute is of the
type universal_integer. (See 9.9.)
P'DELTA For a prefix P that denotes a fixed point subtype:

accuracy definition for the subtype P. The value of this
attribute is of the type universal_real. (See 3.5.10.)
P'DIGITS For a prefix P that denotes a floating point subtype:

underlines, and is at least two.) The value of this
attribute is of the type universal_integer. (See
3.5.10.)

exponent, or trailing spaces; but with a one character
prefix that is either a minus sign or a space.
The image of an enumeration value is either the
corresponding identifier in upper case or the
