Entry family

Entry family

[Evangelista Sami]

hello all

what is the meaning of this code which compile well with gnat3.14
under linux:
---------------------------------------------
procedure Test_Index is
   type Id is mod 10;
   protected type Prot is
      entry E (Boolean);
   end Prot;
   protected body Prot is
       entry E (for I in Id) when True is
       begin
          null;
       end;
   end Prot;
   P : Prot;
begin
   P.E(True);
end;
---------------------------------------------why can i declare the
index entry of E as Boolean in the spec and as Id in the body?
Perhaps i didnt understand something about entry index

Thanks for any response

                  ^^^^^^^^^^^
                  Won't this return Boolean?

and what about this?
---------------------------------------------
procedure test_index is
    type Id is mod 10;
    protected type Prot is
       entry E (Id);
    end Prot;
    protected body Prot is
        entry E (for B in Boolean) when True is
        begin
           null;
        end;
    end Prot;
    P : Prot;
begin
    P.E(8);
end;
---------------------------------------------

does "for b in boolean" return id?

I'm not very familiar with entry families, but as I understand Barnes
text book it gives this example:

entry E (for P in Id) when Barrier_Condition(P) is
   begin
      --  do your thing
   end E;

so when you write "when True" it will always do the code block. But I'm
not sure, you better look up in your text book or wait for the gurus to
clear it up :-)

To me, this looks like a fat compiler bug. The entry body shouod be

  entry E (for I in Boolean) when True is

Report it to ACT (report@gnat.com).

it seems that conversion is made at the run time:

example :
--------------------------------------------------
procedure test_index is
    type Id is mod 5;
    protected type Prot is
       entry E(Id);
    end Prot;
    protected body Prot is
       entry E(for B in boolean) when true is
       begin
          null;
       end;
    end Prot;
    P : Prot;
begin
    -- OK : 0 -> FALSE
    P.E(0);
    -- OK : 1 -> TRUE
    P.E(1);
    -- CRASHES
    P.E(2);
end;
--------------------------------------------------

I agree. This code violates 9.5.2(17), which says that the subtype name
has to fully conform between the specification and the body of the
entry. The compiler should not accept it.

What the code actually does isn't particularly relevant, since it's
illegal.

Could somebody with GNAT 3.15p try it to see if the bug is still there
or if it was fixed?

3.15p still sees no problem (any more than GCC 3.3 at 20021025).

Both programs show the same fat bug. There is no such implicit conversion in 
Ada.

The entry spec and body do not match. Full stop.

It's there even with 3.16w (the wavefront).
