When trying to pass pointers to objects of unconstrained array type, I
am getting confusing compiler errors. For example:
procedure Main is
type Lists is array(Natural range <>) of Integer;
type Lists_Ptrs is access all Lists;
procedure Do_Something(To : in out Lists_Ptrs) is...
List1 : Lists(1..4) := (1,2,3,4);
List2 : Lists := (1,2,3,4);
begin
Do_Something(To => List1); -- Compilation Error. Why?
Do_Something(To => List2); -- No problemo!!!
end Main;
List1 should be an anonymous constrained subtype of type Lists. I was
under the impression that subtypes are simply a subset of their base
type. Is this not the case for constrained subtypes of unconstrained
types?
Thanks in advance for any who may respond.
