<< It's interesting to note that GNAT handles the two package example
"right". My guess is that that's a result of GNAT's treating package
specifications like include files. On the other hand, GNAT (PC version
3.07) allows one of the overlaid objects to be a constant and the other
to be variable. Furthermore, the generated code allows the value of the
constant to be changed. This is clearly a bug, either in GNAT or the
language specification. It is not prohibited in RM 13.3. Is it prohib-
ited elsewhere?>>
nope! it's not a bug. That can still be erroneous in Ada 95. I guess that
will make you happy, since for some incomprehensible reason, you prefer
that this be erroneous, and would like more cases to be erroneous :-)
