Hello,

given the following :

type Object is record
   Tag : constant String := "key"; -- GNAT compilation failed :
constant components are not permitted
end record;

In my case I find it useful to declare my Object Tag component as a
constant, but it is not permitted, I would be interested to learn
why ?


Cheers,
