Hello,

I am writting a generic package and I would like to add to add a
configuring
parameter when instanciating the package that is defined within the
generic package.

generic
type T_ITEM is private;
MODE: T_MODE; -- type T_MODE is (FIFO,FILO);
package LIST is
...
end LIST;

Where can I define T_MODE ? Do I need to define T_MODE in a package
wrapped around the generic package:

package L is
type T_MODE is (FIFO,FILO); 
generic
type T_ITEM is private;
MODE: T_MODE;
pacakge LIST is
..
end LIST;

Or can I define it with the generic package ?


Thanks,

Tilman
