I don't really understand the error I'm getting, but I'm getting pretty much
the same error message from 2 different compilers.

What I'm trying to do is rename a task entry to be a procedure. The procedure
is declared in the package spec, but the renaming is done in the body. I'm
wondering if that's my problem. Does a renaming have to be a procedure
*declaration*, or can it be the completion of a declaration?

Here's a smallish code sample if you need to see it to answer my question.

procedure Rename_Test is

   procedure Fred;

   task Foo is
      entry Jim;
   end Foo;

   procedure Fred renames Foo.Jim;

   task body Foo is
   begin
      accept Jim;
   end Foo;

begin
   Fred;
end Rename_Test;

When compiled with gnat, I get
rename_test.adb:15:19: not subtype conformant with declaration at line 8
rename_test.adb:15:19: prior declaration for "Fred" has convention "Ada"

The same example compiles OK w/ GreenHills, but not if the declarations are
moved to a package spec and body. In that case I also get an error referring
to Fred having convention "Ada".

Removing the "procedure Fred;" line cause gnat to compile it ok.

T.E.D.
