It appears that both Robert Dewar and Tucker Taft believe that the issue of
whether or not objects can be placed in ROM is generally unrelated to the issue
of whether or not the expression is static. Since we also originally asked our
vendor not to use "static" as a basis for their proposal, we must understand
Ada better than I thought! :) Now, if we can only get our _vendor_ to accept
this profundity at our next meeting...
While I'm at it, I also wanted to thank Mr. Taft for explaining the difficulty
of optimizing an expression initialized with a previosuly-defined constant
composite/attribute. Although the problem of keeping the composite in memory
long enough wouldn't necessarily be a problem for a VAX/1750A cross-compiler
(generally, the most data that could be in one package on a 1750A is 32K, which
a VAX can certainly support), I can see that the practice of using common
compiler components for multiple host/target combinations would make it
difficult to do this in practice.
