Re: Is this a bug in Ada.Numerics?

Hi Ludovic,

I thought I was getting on top of this but then I ran a small experiment that doesn't make sense (to me).

I decided to make my own generic pacakges, ada_complex_types and ada_complex_functions, as clones of
Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types and 
Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions.

I had to add a couple of lines to the body of my packages, in particular I added these lines to
ada_complex_functions.adb

   Argument_Error : Excpetion;
   PI  : constant := 3.14159;
   
and this line to ada_complex_types.adb

   Argument_Error : Exception;

These changes were needed to allow compilation of the packages. Othe than the above small changes my generic packages are indetical to their Ada.Numerics counterparts.

I then used these pacakges in my previous example. I had expected no change in the errors reported by the compiler. But that is not what happens. I find that with or without the "subtype Complex ..." declaration the compiler reports no errors.

Am I missing something here?

Sorry to be a pain...

Cheers,
Leo
