Re: Preferred method for bringing in operators

["Marin David Condic" <marin.condic.auntie.spam@pacemicro.com>]

I've got a couple of cases where attempting to read or write tagged records
from/to a stream file ends up raising Program_Error if the tagged types are
derived from Ada.Finalization.Controlled. If you change the code to *not*
derive from Controlled, it works fine. The examples that illustrate this are
a bit long and hard to cut down to manageable size. IIRC, I reported at
least one instance of it to ACT, so maybe they looked into it & fixed it.
I'm wondering if maybe similar problems exist elsewhere. I'd kind of like to
test the code I've got that does this against a different compiler to gain
some insight into its correctness or possibly find alternative ways of
getting the job done. Its a kind of a tough spot when dealing with data
structures where you want to go "I'd like to save this to a stream file
*and* I'd like to control what happens to it on assignment" and have to make
a choice between one or the other.
