I run this same program with GNAT 3.03 on solaris
and it reports the error correctly:
tmp.adb:24:14: downward conversion of tagged objects not allowed
gnatmake: *** compilation failed.
----source:
procedure tmp is
type A is tagged
record
X : integer;
Y : integer;
end record;
type B is new A with
record
W : integer;
end record;
type C is new B with
record
Z : integer;
end record;
Jim : C;
Jane : B;
Save : integer;
begin
Jim := C (Jane);
Save := Jim.Z;
end;

I just ran it myself against the same compiler on the same platform and
to my chagrin I got the same error message.
I had figured that the bug would be consistant. The place where I found
it
was in the Alert system that is partially coded in the Rationale. I
added code for the other subunits besides Handle, and then I switched
the overloads of Handle so that the one for Medium Alerts called the one
for High Alerts instead of the one for Alerts. I made sure the subunit
for Set_Alarm actually tried to read the extra field. In this case
there was no error on the line:
Handle (HA => High_Alert(MA));
I will send this off to report@gnat.com.
