xe_front.adb:547 - SYSTEM.ASSERTIONS.ASSERT_FAILURE

xe_front.adb:547 - SYSTEM.ASSERTIONS.ASSERT_FAILURE

[Frank]

Hi! 

I posted this in PolyORB mailing list, but it is very quiet there, so I try here also.

I have installed GNAT:
GNATMAKE GPL 2010 (20100603)
GNATDIST GPL 2010-20100603 (rev. 160601)
on Windows 7, using Cygwin (latest version)
With DSA to enable Distributed Annex E (and debug enabled)

After some tweaking (the normal tweaking) the configure and make all install seems to execute normal.
I get the executables po_gnatdist, po_cos_naming and so on.

Now I try my old project that compiled on previous version of PolyORB / Windows XP / Cygwin (older revision I think but that PC is for repairs at the moment)

The executable PO_GNATDIST failes very early in the process:

------
C:\Ada\Seabattle>po_gnatdist seabattle.cfg
Execution terminated by unhandled exception
Exception name: SYSTEM.ASSERTIONS.ASSERT_FAILURE
Message: xe_front.adb:547
Call stack traceback locations:
0x456a69 0x4184e2 0x451950 0x402db1 0x4017da 0x4010b4 0x401146 0x76cb3675 0x7772
9d40 0x77729d13
-----

I have tried to comment lines from the configuration file without managing to close in to what element is creating this problem.

This is the configuration file:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
configuration seabattle is

   pragma Version (False);

   pragma Starter (None);

--   pragma Boot_Location ("tcp", "localhost:5557");

   --
   seabattle_client : Partition := (Client); --, MyClient);
   procedure main_client;
   for seabattle_client'Main use main_client;

   -- This partition is the authentic server partition
   --
   seabattle_server : Partition := (Server.Remote, Server.Remote.ActionBroker);
   procedure main_server is in seabattle_server;
   for seabattle_server'Task_Pool use (1, 1, 1);
   for seabattle_client'Task_Pool use (1, 1, 1);
   
--   for seabattle_client'Host use "localhost";
   for seabattle_server'Host use "localhost";

   for seabattle_server'Termination use Local_Termination;
   for seabattle_client'Termination use Local_Termination;
end seabattle;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Any proposals to what is causing this?

A cursory look at xe_front.adb reveals a single pragma Assert which
causes the exception:

procedure Frontend is
      Node : Node_Id;
      HID  : Host_Id;

   begin
      First_Configuration_Declaration (Configuration_Node, Node);
      while Node /= Null_Node loop
         if Is_Variable (Node) then
            Build_New_Variable (Variable_Id (Node));

         elsif Is_Configuration (Node) and then Comes_From_Source
(Node) then
            pragma Assert (Configuration = No_Name);
            Configuration := Get_Node_Name (Node);
            Set_Application_Names (Configuration);

         elsif Is_Type (Node) then
            Set_Type_Attribute (Type_Id (Node));

         elsif Is_Statement (Node) then
            Set_Pragma_Statement (Get_Subprogram_Call (Statement_Id
(Node)));

         end if;
         Next_Configuration_Declaration (Node);
      end loop;

So it would seem that your configuration file contains more than one
configuration.
