--  This generic package provides a target independent implementation of the
--  floating-point attributes that denote functions. The implementations here
--  are portable, but very slow. The runtime contains a set of instantiations
--  of this package for all predefined floating-point types, and these should
--  be replaced by efficient assembly language code where possible.

   --  input arguments, the expander has to do some special casing to deal
   --  with the (very annoying!) cases of out of range values. If we used
   --  Long_Long_Integer to represent universal, then there would be no
   --  problem, but the resulting inefficiency would be annoying.
