It's not directly possible, because you can instantiate only after elaboration
of the generic's body. The following little package shows you how you can work
around the problem.


package p is
   
   generic
   procedure gp;

   procedure p; -- is new gp;

end p;

package body p is
   
   procedure gp is
   begin
      null;
   end gp;

   procedure pi is new gp;

   procedure p renames pi;

end p;
