Restrictions on Ada Main Programs

[rh@MITRE-BEDFORD.ARPA (Rich Hilliard - Mitre Software Center)]

I always thought I understood Ada RM 10.1 (8):

	... An implementation may impose certain requirements on the
	parameters and on the result, if any, of a main program (these
	requirements must be stated in Appendix F).  In any case,
	every implementation is required to allow, at least, main
	programs that are parameterless procedures, and every main
	program must be a subprogram that is a library unit.


In particular, I thought "parameters" referred to run-time parameters
- those supplied in a call.  Now I find an implementation that rejects
generic instantiations of otherwise "parameterless" procedures owing
to the presence of a generic formal parameter (see below) and citing
this paragraph.  Is this a legitimate interpretation or merely an
implementor error?  


	generic 
	  Default : Integer := 10;
	procedure Generic_Install;


	procedure Generic_Install is 
	  Site_Selectable_Parameter : Integer;  
	begin
	  Site_Selectable_Parameter := Default;
	end Generic_Install;


	with Generic_Install;
	procedure Install is new Generic_Install;
	--  	  ^^^^^^^
	-- RM 10.1(8): instantiation install can not be a main program
	-- A parameterless integer function or procedure is required
