There are times when it's wrong; for example the current GNAT doesn't allow= the mandated forward referencing in aspects all the time. -- Something I h= ad to work around in his base-64 encoder/decoder: https://github.com/OneWin= gedShark/Base_64 >=20 > To be fair, the toolchain can be quite confusing. It's certainly my least favorite thing about GNAT; it would be nice if ther= e were a standard set of tools (or at least interfaces) and project definit= ion. (GPR is almost decent for project definitions, though it falls very sh= ort by being quite string oriented and rather easy to break WRT its associa= ted graphical [GPS] tools.)
