A.5.4 Attributes of Fixed Point Types

1. The following representation-oriented attributes are defined for every subtype S of a fixed point type T.
2. S'Machine_Radix

   Yields the radix of the hardware representation of the type
   T. The value of this attribute is of the type
   universal_integer.
   

3. S'Machine_Rounds

   Yields the value True if rounding is performed on inexact
   results of every predefined operation that yields a result of
   the type T; yields the value False otherwise. The value of
   this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.
   

4. S'Machine_Overflows

   Yields the value True if overflow and divide-by-zero are
   detected and reported by raising Constraint_Error for every
   predefined operation that yields a result of the type T;
   yields the value False otherwise. The value of this
   attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.
