<<Thanks for the clarification. I kind of thought the use of pragma
Interface in GNAT was an anachronism. I hardly think of it as
much of a bug (more a potential future buglette!). But I'll send
it off to the official bug list so it can be cleaned up some day.>>
It you are referring to the possibility that we might remove pragma
Interface one day, that is not a possibility -- pragma Interface is
there for compatibility with Ada 83, and this requirement (for
Ada 83 compatibility) will be around for a long long time!
GNAT implements *all* the Ada 83 pragmas and attributes, and is committed
to continuing to include this capability.
