With the declaration
package Test is
type Set_Type is array (1 .. 3) of Boolean; -- for example
function Union (Set_1, Set_2 : Set_Type) return Set_Type;
end Test;
the following code
package body Test is
function Union (Set_1, Set_2 : Set_Type) return Set_Type is
begin
return Set_1 or Set_2;
end Union;
end Test;
compiles without problem, but for
package body Test is
function Union (Set_1, Set_2 : Set_Type) return Set_Type
renames "or";
end Test;
GNAT (3.14p) gives an error:
test.adb:2:04: not subtype conformant with declaration in package Standard
test.adb:2:04: return type does not match
test.adb:3:15: subprogram used in renaming_as_body cannot be intrinsic
This kind of renaming is explicitly used by Cohen in a generics example
in section 15.2.3.2 of "Ada as a second language". (Cohen's full example
doesn't compile either, although only the first 2 lines of the error
message are generated).
Am I missing something obvious here? Or is Cohen wrong? Or GNAT? Is
there something in the RM that supports GNAT's claim that "subprogram
used in renaming_as_body cannot be intrinsic"?
