23/5
To_String and From_String behave analogously to the Put and Get procedures defined in Text_IO.Float_IO (in particular, with respect to the interpretation of the Fore, Aft, and Exp parameters), except that Constraint_Error (not Data_Error) is propagated in error cases. From_Quotient_String implements the inverse function of To_Quotient_String; Constraint_Error is propagated in error cases. Put_Image calls To_String, and writes the resulting value to the buffer using Text_Buffers.Put.
24/6
For an instance of Float_Conversions, Fixed_Conversions, or Decimal_Conversions, To_Big_Real is exact (that is, the result represents exactly the same mathematical value as the argument) and From_Big_Real is subject to the same precision rules as a type conversion of a value of type T to the target type Num, where T is a hypothetical floating point type whose model numbers include all of the model numbers of Num as well as the exact mathematical value of the argument.
25/5
The other functions have their usual mathematical meanings.
26/5
The type Big_Real needs finalization (see 7.6).

Dynamic Semantics

27/5
For purposes of determining whether predicate checks are performed as part of default initialization, the type Big_Real is considered to have a subcomponent that has a default_expression.

Implementation Requirements

28/5
No storage associated with a Big_Real object shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.
