Re: Got bitten by GNAT.Table

["Hervé Bitteur" <Herve.Bitteur@France.Sun.COM>]

Hello Stephe,

I'm using the interface provided by GNAT.Table package. So, yes, I think
it's kind of a bug, even if I more or less understand what is happening
when I resize the array while dereferencing it in the same statement.
I will send it to ACT anyway.

Bye,
