7.2.4 Accuracy Constraintsguideline
Do not press the accuracy limits of the machine(s). rationale
Just because two different machines use the same number of digits in the mantissa of a floating-point number does not imply they will have the same arithmetic properties. Some Ada implementations may give slightly better accuracy than required by Ada because they make efficient use of the machine. Do not write programs that depend on this.
