Generic Packages

[Tory Patnoe <tory.l.patnoe@lmco.com>]

Here is a quick question which I was unable to find the answer to in the Ada95 Reference Manual.

I have a program which takes a long time to elaborate.  I am suspecting it has something to do with the generic integer_io.  The
current program (not my design!) looks something like this...

package process1 is
    yada-yada-yada;
    package int_io is new integer_io; use int_io;
end process1;

package process2 is
    more yada-yada-yada;
    package int_io is new integer_io; use int_io;
end process2;

Does the compiler make TWO separate instantiations of int_io in this case?   It would, therefore, make my code larger and take more
time at elaboration?  I suspect this is the case and consequently it would be better to do something like this.

package int_io is new integer_io; use int_io;

with int_io; use int_io;
package process1 is
    yada-yada-yada;
end process1;

with int_io; use int_io;
package process2 is
    more yada-yada-yada;
end process2;

Thanks
