Re: Renaming entries?

["Nick Roberts" <Nick.Roberts@dial.pipex.com>]

Right, [what is the 'T' of T.E.D. btw?], I've got this one pinned, I reckon.
RM95 8.5.4 (5) says that "the profile of a renaming-as-body shall be subtype
conformant with that of the renamed callable entity." RM 6.3.1 (2, 13) says
that the default calling convention for an entry is 'Entry'. Paragraph (17)
says that for subtype conformance the conventions must be the same.

So, the solution to your problem is to use

   pragma Convention(Entry,Fred);

in the package specification, and all will be well.

Now all I need is a spiral-bound RM that doesn't keep ON CLOSING ITSELF
ARGHHHHH! Sorry, calmed down now. I'm gonna break the spine of this damn
thing. Feeling lucky, book? Go on, make my day.
