Subject: Why can't objects be static in Ada?

Message-ID: <b411a770-5e86-4d5e-9e43-e52843be724d@googlegroups.com> (raw)
Someone sent in a pull request to my bindings and had to change a few constants to functions because objects can't be static. For an example:
type Sizes is
record
Width : Dimension;
Height : Dimension;
end record with
Convention => C;
Zero_Size : constant Sizes := (others => Natural_Dimension'First);
Why can't Zero_Size be compiled as static in this pre-elaborated package?
This seems to be a major flaw in Ada imo.
Luke.
