    Well, I know nothing about Ada so I'm not sure what you mean by that
    remark.  That's why I was asking for specific examples.  Annotated, if
    possible.

OK.  Here's a test program:

procedure Tparray (X: Integer) is
   type Barr is array (Integer range <>) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (Barr);		-- So we have a packed array of 1 bit
   Y: constant Integer := 31;	-- Here's a variable whose value we know.

   subtype Barr1 is Barr(1..X); -- This type has variable size.
   subtype Barr2 is Barr(1..Y); -- ... and this one has a fixed size (31 bits).

   --  Now we have two identical functions, one on each type.

   function F1 (A, B : Barr1) return Barr1 is
      Arr: Barr1 := A;
   begin
      Arr (2) := False;
      return Arr xor B;
   end F1;

   function F2 (A, B : Barr2) return Barr2 is
      Arr: Barr2 := A;
   begin
      Arr (2) := False;
      return Arr xor B;
   end F2;
begin
   null;
end Tparray;

Now here's the Ada expanded code for this.  Note the very different forms
of tparray__f1 and tparray__f2:
