Actually I had the impression that he simply wanted to understand why his code was wrong. Most certainly directing people to the accessibility section of the RM is a poor idea. If you can understand this section, don't go to language lawyer school, you are already more qualified than the author :-) I don't know if this section had to be so inpenetrable. I think the problem was that it is difficult to describe the restrictions at an appropriate high level of semantic abstraction. If you think about the underlying implementation (which means you must know enough to know the general model which underlies typical implementations of stack based languages), then you can in fact re-create the rules based on the understanding of the underlying aim. By the way, when I talk about input "we" have received, I mean ACT at report@gnat.com. As a company we do not pay attention to anything posted on CLA. I am one of the few people at ACT who follow CLA, but reporting a problem here or making a suggestion for an enhancement here does not constitute talking to ACT! -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
