But the point is, how are they to become aware of the bug? This is very simple: AdaCore is the leading provider of Ada-related products and comp.lang.ada is the most active social website where Ada is being discussed - and, please fasten your seatbelt, where their next generation of customers is growing up. If AdaCore does not lurk here, then there is either something terribly wrong with them or with this newsgroup - ie. at least one of them has serious identity issues. > AdaCore cannot possibly monitor all possible places bugs might be > mentioned. Of course. They have to set up some borders, where to stop. This border also defines the "relevancy" of any given forum. > What they can do is provide one place to report bugs to them, and make > that as easy to use as possible.

Please also note that I have described my problem as a follow-up to my original question in this thread, in order to explain what happened, why I wanted to bypass the dynamic dispatch and because I consider the whole to be technically interesting in general. It was not supposed to be a bug-report and I have never claimed it is intended to be. But... > So I'm reporting a bug in the website, via an unrecognized channel; > chance of success? ... as already said, if comp.lang.ada is "an unrecognized channel", there is something wrong. > AdaCore does not take bugs from bugzilla either. Then they will take them from their Most Valuable Customer (tm). Next year or next week. I'm really fine with that and I think I have already done enough on my side. -- Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
