Message-ID: <C2aQ4.97$ml.60170@news.pacbell.net> (raw)

One compiler refuses to compile this code, giving the indicated
error message.  Other compilers accept it just fine and print
"in test1" then "in test2".  Who's right?
-----------------
package test1 is
  type Root is tagged null record;
  procedure P(X : in out Root);
end test1;

with ada.text_io;
package body test1 is
  procedure P(X : in out Root) is
  begin
    ada.text_io.put_line("in test1");
  end P;
end test1;

with test1;
package test2 is
  type Branch is new test1.Root with private;
private
  type Branch is new test1.Root with null record;
  procedure P(X : in out Branch);
end test2;

with ada.text_io;
package body test2 is
  procedure P(X : in out Branch) is
  begin
    ada.text_io.put_line("in test2");
  end P;
end test2;

with test1, test2;
package test3 is
  type A is new test1.Root with null record;
  type B is new test2.Branch with null record;
end test3;

with test3;
procedure test is
  X : test3.A;
  Y : test3.B;
begin
  test3.P(X);
  test3.P(Y);   -- One compiler says "expected type A, found type B"
                -- others have no complaints
end test;
