the question might be a bit obscure but 
considering the two package bodies below

package body A is
 variable: some_type:=call_some_function_outside_A;
end A;

package body B is
 variable: some_type;
begin
 variable:=call_some_function_outside_B;
end B;

I know that in B the variable will be assigned
every time a program using the package is run,
but is this also true for A, or will the variable in 
this case only be assigned at compile time ?

saturdays usually makes me confused...
