Problem with enumeration in ADTs

Problem with enumeration in ADTs

[Beau]

I have a program that is not recognizing the enumerated type I have created
inside and using inside an ADT
The program is about 13 files in size so I can't post each file so if
someone is willing to help me, could you please email me and maybe I could
send you the files to see if you can help. Thanks in advance. If this is a
bad request, just don't post anything and that will be the flame I get.
thanks

If you post the type definition, how you're using it, and what exactly
you mean by "not recognizing" it, you'll get a lot of eyes to look it
over for you.  (And no flames :-)

I mailed Beau and got the sources.

The "not recognising" was due to the package location  being ommited in a case
where the "with" clause was used, but not the "use" clause.  (e.g. x := y; not
loc.x := y; with no "use" clause).

That still get's to me on occasion when I don't use "use" clauses and it was
really confusing when I was learning Ada, but GNAT is quite clever in that it
tells you where to look (although the message can fade into the background
sometimes and getting used to the compiler messages is always a challenge (GNAT
has the best error messages so far) ).  I don't know if I explained it proper.


Don't start a barny on this (the "use" clause)!!!

p.s. is it GNAT or AdaGIDE that signals you about a possible mis-spelling?  If
it's not GNAT, ... then Jeff we gotta have this, I can't live without it :-)

It's GNAT.
