From the Claw mailing list: >The recently released GNAT 3.13p contains an inheritance bug which prevents >the successful compilation of Claw (all versions). The problem has been >reported to the maintainers of GNAT. The problem will cause various >compilation errors when compiling Claw and programs using Claw. Generally, >the bug manifests itself by reporting a legal call as if it was a call to an >undefined subprogram, or a call with an incorrect parameter list. > >We are working to create workarounds for the bug (we think we can do so >without making the workaround version incompatible with the regular version) >for both the demo and release versions of Claw. In the mean time, we >recommend avoiding GNAT 3.13p -- continue to use GNAT 3.12p. > >We regret any inconvenience. > > Randy Brukardt > R.R. Software, Inc. Tom Moran
