GNAT bug?

[Juergen.Hoyng@ri.dasa.de]

Hello!

The followings compilation units can be compiled with the Ada83 compiler VADS
6.2.3(c) (Solaris 2.5.1) and Alsys 5.5.4 (HP_UX 10.20).

generic
    type Item      is private;
package Foo is
    type Foo_Type (Kind: Positive) is limited private;
    procedure Foo_Op (Target : in out Foo_Type;
                      Source : in      Foo_Type);
private
   type Foo_Type (Kind: Positive) is
   record
     Blah_Bah : Integer;
    end record;
end Foo;

with Foo;
package X is
   package My_Foo is new Foo(Integer);
   type My_Foo_Type is new My_Foo.Foo_Type;
   procedure Test (X : in out My_Foo_Type;
                   Y : in     My_Foo_Type);
end X;

with Foo;
package body X is
   procedure Test (X : in out My_Foo_Type;
                   Y : in     My_Foo_Type) is
   begin
      Foo_Op (X,Y);  --    <-------- ?????
   end Test;
end X;

When trying to compile these compilation units with gnat-3.11p (Solaris 2.5.1)
I got the error message:
x.adb:6:15: expected private type "My_Foo_Type" defined at x.ads:4
x.adb:6:15: found type "My_Foo_Type" defined at x.ads:4

Is this an Ada95/Ada83 incompatibility or a GNAT bug?


Thanks in advance
