Subject: Ada95 Package Bodies: Required?

Message-ID: <3188DE77.41C6@cliffy.lfwc.lockheed.com> (raw)


Forgive me if I prove myself irreparably ignorant, but:

The document 'HOW TO PROGRAM IN Ada 9X, USING Ada 83', written by Erhard
Ploedereder, which I obtained from the Ada Information Clearinghouse
(AdaIC), says:

   "Guideline 8:  All library unit packages must have bodies,
    even if such bodies are empty."

The 'Ada Compatibility Guide', v. 6.0, 1 Jan 95, by Bill Taylor, which I
also got from the Ada Information Clearinghouse, says:

   "28.   Library Package Bodies Illegal if not Required"  and

   "In Ada95, it is illegal to providea body for a library
    package that does not require one."

What gives?  We are converting from Ada83 to Ada95, and this package
body issue may mean many (admittedly small) changes to our code.
