Hi,
Thanks but I've already checked this source, but it's no help to me. It describes what gnatcheck does when using the Discriminated_Record rule. But I don't know why its a violation. Whats wrong with discriminated records? 
Another example. Predefined_Numeric_Types. I know I shouldn't used them. But I know it because a long time ago I read it in the ARM. Theres no reference in gnatcheck to the specific chapter in the ARM. 
I'd like to improve my code and evolve a good programming habit, but it's really hard to google all the rules with no  results.

I hope someone can enlighten me. I wish you all a merry christmas,
Stefan
