Matthew Heaney asks
<<OK, one more question. Why not just pragma Elaborate? If I only
instantiate the generic in the package declarative region, and do not call
any of its functions during elaboration or initialization, then why pragma
Elaborate_All? All I the instantiator require is the generic's body, not
the bodies of the packages it with's, so isn't Elaborate good enough?>>
Because the body may have elaboration code that calls functions in units
that are with'ed by the generic and not by the client.
Incidentally, I find that the whole elaboration issue is one on which a
lot of people are fuzzy. I am currently doing a complete documentation
section on the new GNAT support for elaboration checking and management,
and that section also tries to explain the technical aspects of this
issue.
