Subject: Form feed comment for pragma Page

Message-ID: <4p04vi$3ui$1@mhafn.production.compuserve.com> (raw)
One unusually nonportable bit of Ada code occurs when you place
a form feed character in a comment after a pragma Page:
pragma page ; -- ^L (form feed for pagination during
-- straight printing of the source code file)
Compilers issue informationals about either:
1) Comments after pragma Page do not have to be printed in
the source code.
2) The form feed character isn't in the allowed set of
characters for Ada source code.
It appears that problem number 1 should go away in
Ada 95 because all pragmas must be printed out in
the source listing. However, this may cause an extra
form feed.
