Gnat Project file : object dir "fast clean" ?

Gnat Project file : object dir "fast clean" ?

[Jérôme Haguet]

Let's imagine I have several projects, each defined by a gpr file,
with a specific object_dir for each.
Quite common situation.

I was just wondering if there is an option in some tool (gnat*, *gpr*)
to perform an Object_Dir "fast clean" ?
I mean : "delete every .o/.ali that should not exist".

It may happen, for example :
- when I rename some package
- when I move a package from a project to an other project
I have to delete the old .ali/.o, otherwise it can be confusing for
gnatmake, gnatfind ....

Of course, I can delete the whole Object_Dir-s, and rebuild
everything.
But, some time, something faster can be helpful.

Wouldn't gnatclean do the job?

I guess Jérôme would like to delete exactly the files gnatclean
wouldn't.
In other words: keep the .ali/.o that are meaningful to the project,
and delete the other files.
A solution would be then (I just tried it with success on Windows):

gnatclean -n -P myproj | zip keepit -@
del dir_obj\*
move keepit.zip \
cd \
unzip keepit

Of course, this would be better included as an option in gnatclean.
