meaning of: duplicate body for "_Clean" declared at line 1

[Alfred Hilscher]

Hi,

I have a package spec and body. When I compile the spec everythin is OK,
but when I compile the _body_ then I get an errormessage for the _spec_
: "duplicate body for "_Clean" declared at line 1". I have nothing named
"_Clean" so what does this message mean?

I work with GNAT 3.13 and Windows NT 4.0.

Nothing comes to my mind, but maybe I have not enough experience
with GNAT. If it does not mind for you, can you send me the spec
and body? I try to run in through 3.13p under Win 98 and see what 
comes out.

You'll have to post the code snippet; this error message doesn't make
much sense. For one thing, leading underscores are illegal in Ada!

Just FYI, with GNAT, if the package has a body, there is never a need
to explicitly compile the spec. Just compile the body.

Hi Mike,

thanks for your offer, but I got it now. Due to "cut and paste"  the
package body contained twice the same task specification. This seemed to
be the reason (although the message is not very clear).

Not really, sure. But I prefer to find errors in the spec at a very
early time, not only when I work already on the implementation details.
