A discussion arose in #ada on irc.freenode.net about GNAT
requiring the body of a generic unit to be present when
compiling code that uses the generic.
A quote from the Ada 95 issues:
{AI95-00077-01} {AI95-00114-01} {extensions to Ada 83} Ada 83
allowed implementations to require that the body of a generic unit be
available when the instantiation is compiled; that permission is
dropped
in Ada 95. This isn't really an extension (it doesn't allow Ada users
to write
anything that they couldn't in Ada 83), but there isn't a more
appropriate
category, and it does allow users more flexibility when developing
programs.
How come GNAT still requires this?
