Subject: Forwarding declaration?
Date: 1 Apr 2005 00:36:22 -0800

Message-ID: <1112344582.787855.248880@o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I have need of a forwarding declaration.  How do I do that in Ada?

--- example1 ---
type Boob is record
    Avar : A_Ptr;
end record;
type Boob_Ptr is access all Boob;

task type A(booby: Boob_Ptr) is
   . . .
end A;
type A_Ptr is access all A;
------------------

compiler says (and I say) that A_Ptr is undefined for Boob.

Now if I could use a temporary placeholder for A_Ptr (a forwarding
declaration) then the compiler and I would be happy.

--- example2 ---
-- forwarding declaration
temporary declaration of A_Ptr;

type Boob is record
    Avar : A_Ptr;
end record;
type Boob_Ptr is access all Boob;

task type A(booby: Boob_Ptr) is
   . . .
end A;
type A_Ptr is access all A;
------------------

Thanks,

Andrew
