And what about:
function Critical_Error (Total_Count, Critical_Count : in Positive) return
String is
begin
return "there are" & Positive'Image (Total_Count) & " bad things here,"
& Positive'Image (Critical_Count) & " of which matter";
end Critical_Error;
Now there is no problem with reordering :)
For a multi-lingual error system a OO design will do as in:
type Error_Message is abstract tagged private;
function Critical_Error (E : Error_Message;
Total_Count, Critical_Count : in Positive) return string is abstract;
type English_EM is new Error_Message with private;
function Critical_Error (E : English_EM;
Total_Count, Critical_Count : in Positive) return string is abstract;
type French_EM is new Error_Message with private;
function Critical_Error (E : French_EM;
Total_Count, Critical_Count : in Positive) return string is abstract;
Pascal.
PS : this code has not been check by any compiler except myself so it could
just not compile :)
