Trouble with ASIS issues

Trouble with ASIS issues

[Hibou57 (Yannick Duchêne)]

Hi all again,

Before I asked (to come) some questions about ASIS, I was to ask a
question about ASIS issues.

Some times ago, I've found on the web, a file containing ASIS packages
specifications. As this was for a version of ASIS corresponding to an
old version of Ada, I started to get ASIS issues, and apply issues
marked as approved to the packages specifications.

But it seems there are sometime some troubles. Sometime I wondered if
I was the source of the trouble, and sometime, I'm pretty sure this
comes from issues.

As an exemple, after I've applyed SI99-0004-1 and SI99-0032-1, and
attempted to compile the specifications, I get an error about a
duplicated items in Asis.Definition_Kinds : the item
An_Access_Definition was duplicated.

So I've checked for the issues which made me add this
An_Access_Definition, and found that indeed, both SI99-0004-1 and
SI99-0032-1 was talking about adding this.

May be I did not understood how to apply ASIS issues.

Is it normal if I fall into this trouble ?

What do you suggest me ?

P.S. For the question about ASIS, I prefer to open a separate topic
later.

It is much better to use the ASIS code provided by your compiler
vendor.

Where are you getting these from?

Ask your vendor to include them in their next ASIS release.

I look forward to that; there has not been enough ASIS trafic here
recently :).

I'm not seeking for any vendor product, but only for the ASIS
interface (package specifications), without obsoleted features and
with conformance to Ada 2005.

From ada-auth.org

I'm not a client of any vendor. At the time, I'm just using either the
GNAT GPL and the MinGW Ada (another version of GNAT).

This will be done in ten or more minutes. So, hope it will be
interesting to you as well

So you are a non-paying client of AdaCore (or FSF); they are providing
the ASIS implementation you are using.

Changing the spec without making other corresponding changes can be
expected to break the tools.
