package body Gnatvsn is

   --  Import the string constant defined in the (language-independent)
   --  source file version.c.

   --  The size is a lie; we have no way of writing the truth (the size
   --  is variable and depends on the actual text of the constant).

   --  FIXME: It should be possible to declare this to be a constant, but
   --  that is rejected by the compiler ("invalid context for deferred
   --  constant declaration").  Per Ada95 this constraint only applies to
   --  deferred constants completed by a full constant declaration, not
   --  deferred constants completed by a pragma Import.

   Version_String : array (0 .. Ver_Len_Max) of aliased Character;
   pragma Import (C, Version_String, "version_string");

   --  Convert that string constant to an Ada String and return it.
   --  This is essentially the same as the To_Ada routine in
   --  Interfaces.C; that package is not linked into gnat1 so
   --  we cannot use it.

   is
      Count : Natural := 0;

      loop
