Message-ID: <3c8cc63b$1@pull.gecm.com> (raw)

We're trying to use subtypes of base integer, constraining them 1 .. 8
(i.e. static values)
When we use these types in a case statement, covering values 1 - 8, the
Aonix Ada compiler (7.1.2) complains that we haven't defined "others".
However, we shouldn't need to, as all cases are within the constrained
limits.  I've looked at Programming in Ada 95 - Barnes (p106) which seems to
suggest that we're doing the right thing language-wise, so long as the range
limits are static types.

Is this a compiler funny or an Ada funny?
