If GNAT accepts this, then *that* is a compiler bug, I think. I don't see how this expression is allowed as a static predicate. (The rule in 3.2.4(17) says that the "current instance" may be used as the expression in a membership test. But it looks to me that "current instance" refers strictly to the name Country_Code, period, without any indexes or component selectors or anything. So you can't use Country_Code(1) in a static predicate, as I interpret it.) Dynamic_Predicate might work. I haven't studied all the rules, though.

That's what "current instance" means. See 8.6(17).
