This chapter specifies the syntax and semantics of types and subtypes.

4.1. Type Declarations

Type Declarations
[33]Type_Declaration::= type Name is Type_Definition ;  
[34]Type_Definition::= Integer_Type_Definition | Enumeration_Type_Definition  

Type declarations create new types

4.2. Subtype Declarations

Subtype Declarations
[35]Subtype_Indication::= Name [ Subtype_Constraint ]  
[36]Subtype_Constraint::= Range_Constraint  
[37]Range_Constraint::= range Range  

4.3. Scalar Types

[38]Range::= Expression .. Expression | Range_Attribute_Mark  

4.3.1. Enumeration Types

Enumeration Type Definition
[39]Enumeration_Type_Definition::= ( Enumeration_Literal { , Enumeration_Literal } )  
[40]Enumeration_Literal::= Identifier | Input_Character  

4.3.2. Integer Types

Integer Type Definition
[41]Integer_Type_Definition::= Signed_Integer_Type_Definition | Unsigned_Integer_Type_Definition  
[42]Signed_Integer_Type_Definition::= range Expression .. Expression  
[43]Unsigned_Integer_Type_Definition::= mod Expression  

4.4. Array Types

Array Type Definition
[44]Array_Type_Definition::= Constrained_Array_Type_Definition | Unconstrained_Array_Type_Definition  
[45]Constrained_Array_Type_Definition::= array ( Discrete_Subtype_Definition { , Discrete_Subtype_Definition } ) of Name  
[46]Discrete_Subtype_Definition::= Subtype_Indication Range  
[47]Unconstrained_Array_Type_Definition::= array ( Name range <> { , Name range <> } ) of Name  

4.5. Record Types

Record Type Definition
[48]Record_Type_Definition::= record Record_Component_Definition ; { Record_Component_Definition ; } end record  
[49]Record_Component_Definition::= Identifier : Subtype_Indication
