Subject: Potential Coextension Bug in GNAT
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 07:59:00 -0800 (PST)
Date: 2018-12-20T07:59:00-08:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f8aca7a2-3b3a-4934-8219-c2961dc79458@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I was messing around and trying to learn coextensions and
I came across some counter intuitive functionality.  If I
directly initialize one via an aggregate, it works fine.
However, if I initialize through a constructing function, 
it seems to treat the access discriminant as a normal access
type and finalizes it at the end of the program instead of
when the object leaves scope.  I don't fully understand them
yet and there isn't much on them listed in the RM but one
section (at least according to the index)[1].  That one
section does indicate that initialization via a function
should be valid however, so maybe I am back to I am doing it
wrong or potentially a GNAT bug.

I'm using GNAT 7.1.1

Here is my test program

****************************************************

with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Finalization; use Ada.Finalization;

procedure Hello is

    type Thing_1 is new Limited_Controlled with null record;
    
    overriding 
    procedure Finalize(Self : in out Thing_1) is
    begin
        Put_Line("Finalize Thing_1");
    end Finalize;
    
    type Thing_2
        (Other : not null access Thing_1)
    is limited null record;
    
    procedure Test_Coextension_1 is
        The_Thing : Thing_2(new Thing_1);
    begin
        Put_Line("Coextenson directly initialized");
    end Test_Coextension_1;
    
    function Make_Thing_2 return Thing_2 is
    begin
        return (Other => new Thing_1);
    end Make_Thing_2;
    
    procedure Test_Coextension_2 is
        The_Thing : Thing_2 := Make_Thing_2;
    begin
        Put_Line("Coextension initialized through build in place");
    end Test_Coextension_2;
    
begin
    Test_Coextension_1;
    Test_Coextension_2;
    Put_Line("Test Finished");
end Hello;

Any thoughts?
