--  This package contains routines for scanning decimal values where the size

     (Str   : String;
      Ptr   : access Integer;

      Scale : Integer) return Long_Long_Integer;
   --  This function scans the string starting at Str (Ptr.all) for a valid
   --  real literal according to the syntax described in (RM 3.5(43)). The
   --  substring scanned extends no further than Str (Max). There are three
   --  cases for the return:
   --
   --  If a valid real literal is found after scanning past any initial spaces,
   --  then Ptr.all is updated past the last character of the literal (but
   --  trailing spaces are not scanned out). The value returned is the value
   --  Long_Long_Integer'Integer_Value (decimal-literal-value), using the given
   --  Scale to determine this value.
   --
   --  If no valid real literal is found, then Ptr.all points either to an
   --  initial non-digit character, or to Max + 1 if the field is all spaces
   --  and the exception Constraint_Error is raised.
   --
   --  If a syntactically valid integer is scanned, but the value is out of
   --  range, or, in the based case, the base value is out of range or there
   --  is an out of range digit, then Ptr.all points past the integer, and
   --  Constraint_Error is raised.
   --
   --  Note: these rules correspond to the requirements for leaving the
   --  pointer positioned in Text_Io.Get
   --
   --  Note: if Str is null, i.e. if Max is less than Ptr, then this is a
   --  special case of an all-blank string, and Ptr is unchanged, and hence
   --  is greater than Max as required in this case.

   --  Used in computing X'Value (Str) where X is a decimal types whose size
   --  exceeds Standard.Integer'Size. Str is the string argument of the
   --  attribute. Constraint_Error is raised if the string is malformed
   --  or if the value is out of range, otherwise the value returned is the
   --  value Long_Long_Integer'Integer_Value (decimal-literal-value), using
   --  the given Scale to determine this value.
