John is correct. The only way I've found to make the literals visible
(without
a context clause "use doodah;") is in the units requiring visibility is to
declare:
state_0 : constant doodah.state_value_type := doodah.state_0;
.
.
.
state_etc : constant doodah.state_value_type := doodah.state_etc;
Anyone have a better way?
