Generics & Elaboration Order

[nospam.andrew.logue@cdcgy.com (Andrew Logue)]

Hello,

I need help to instantiate a generic package with an actual parameter whose 
value must be determined at run-time.

Please take a peek at the following pseudo-code:


package body main is

  Actual_Parameter : Boolean := False;
  package New_Pack is new Generic_Package( Parameter => Actual_Parameter );

  begin  -- package elaboration code

    if some_package.embedded_computer_type = some_package.type_A then

      Actual_Parameter := True;
 
    else

      Actual_Parameter := False;

    end if;


end main;

Given the above code, and the embedded computer type is type_A, will 
New_Pack be instantiated with an Actual_Parameter value of True or False?

i.e. does the code in package body execute before the generic is 
instantiated?


Thank you for your feedback,
