Subject: Question about record rep spec placement
Date: 1997/01/15
Date: 1997-01-15T00:00:00+00:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <32DCFDAA.2656@lmtas.lmco.com> (raw)
We have some Ada83 code that looks like the following:
package Some_Package is
type Some_Record is record
-- components here
end record;
-- some arbitrary declarations here
private
for Some_Record use record
-- component rep spec here
end record;
end;
Are there cases in Ada where a record representation specification
cannot be deferred until the private part of the package? I'm told that
when this code was compiled with an Ada 95 compiler, that the record
rep spec had to be moved to immediately after the record declaration
for the code to compile correctly. I'm wondering if this is
(a) illegal Ada83 code that our Ada83 compiler accepted anyway
(much like the use of unchecked_conversion on the left-hand side
of an assignment statement, as described in another thread),
(b) legal Ada code that the other Ada compiler rejected anyway, or
(c) OUCH! Ada83 code that is no longer valid Ada.
