Ok I'm pretty new to Ada and I'm trying to access the
functions within the package Ada.Strings.Bounded to use on a
string with a bounded length of 80. I'm using GNAT3.09 on a intel
system, when I try to compile this code I get the following errors:
gcc -c -IF:\MYDOCU~1\ADAASS~1\ -I- -x ada
F:\MYDOCU~1\ADAASS~1\STRING.ADB
STRING.ADB:14:11: warning: file name does not match unit name, should
be "usestring.adb"
STRING.ADB:24:04: "Replace_Slice" is not visible
STRING.ADB:24:04: non-visible declaration at a-strbou.ads:283
STRING.ADB:24:04: non-visible declaration at a-strbou.ads:275
STRING.ADB:26:25: "length" is not visible
STRING.ADB:26:25: non-visible declaration at a-strbou.ads:38
gnatmake: "F:\MYDOCU~1\ADAASS~1\STRING.ADB" compilation error
I'm assuming that I need to access the generic package
ada.strings.bounded_length in order to use the replace_slice procedure
but I have no clue as to how to declare it.
in Cohen's Ada book he gives the following instantiation :
with Ada.Strings.Bounded;
package Bounded_80 is
new Ada.Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_length(80);
But when I put this into my code I get a variety of errors such as
STRING.ADB:15:01: end of file expected, file can have only one
compilation unit
Is there a relatively simple solution to what must be a rather basic
question?
Thanks for any enlightenment bestowed upon me,
Gregor
