If I am a beginner and am advised to avoid "use" then when do I know that I
am not a beginner any more? Apparently I just KNOW. :-))
Well, there was another reason for asking my question:
I sometimes long for a systematic list of the origin of utilized functions
and procedures. The compiler chooses, say, procedure Put from one of my,
say, five withed packages. The compiler could easily produce a list of
extended procedure names where it is shown from which package the Put is
fetched. It could be accomplished with an additional switch (Gnat: -gnatxn,
resulting in an extended ali file). The output should show the package name
and the library or source file where the package exists.
Or have I missed an already existing possibility?
