Subject: How could I name it ?

Message-ID: <3645C3C4.2A05@club-internet.fr> (raw)

Please, how could I name the item 'Ptr', belonging to task body 'T' in
the following entry point. I cannot name it simply 'Ptr' since the entry
point already has a 'Ptr' as parameter.

The various constructions, all flagged hereunder with comment "Not OK",
lead to the GNAT compilation message :
	invalid prefix in selected component "T"

How come ? 
Besides, this is a simplified old piece of code (Ada 83) that used to
compile correctly on VaxAda.

Thanks for any clue.
