Subject: Exceptions in Declarative Region
Message-ID: <1993Aug12.185359.6400@iplmail.orl.mmc.com>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

The LRM (11-4.2a) specifies that exceptions that occur in the
decarative portion are propagated up to the calling procedure
and not handled by the current function's exception handler.

Can somebody provide the rationale for this?  Why shouldn't the
exception handler for a procedure/function not include the
declarative portion?
