Hello!

I am trying to use the pragma Export in a generic
package for exporting an Ada procedure to C. The
gnatcompiler give me the message:

"internal entity cannot be exported"

The source looks like this:

generic
  -- Something here... 
package Generic_Pack

  procedure My_Proc(Item : in Float ;
                    AnotherItem : out Float ;
                    ThirdItem   : out Float) ;
  pragma Export(C, My_Proc, "my_proc");

end Generic_Pack;

If I try to use pragma Export outside the generic
package, I get the message:

"pragma EXPORT argument must be in same declarative part"

Is it not possible to export procedures from generic packages,
or instantions of theese?
