Actually, it still does: Ada 83 thriough 2012 states in Chapter 2
2.8 Pragmas
In Ada 83 it states:
A pragma that is not language-defined has no effect if its identifier is
not recognized by the (current) implementation. Furthermore, a pragma
(whether language-defined or implementation-defined) has no effect if its
placement or its arguments do not correspond to what is allowed for the
pragma. The region of text over which a pragma has an effect depends on
the pragma.
Note:
It is recommended (but not required) that implementations issue warnings
for pragmas that are not recognized and therefore ignored.
In Ada 95 .. 2012 states:
Implementation Requirements
13 The implementation shall give a warning message for an unrecognized
pragma name.
Implementation Permissions
15 An implementation may ignore an unrecognized pragma even if it violates
some of the Syntax Rules, if detecting the syntax error is too complex.
Implementation Advice
16 Normally, implementation-defined pragmas should have no semantic effect
for error-free programs; that is, if the implementation-defined pragmas are
removed from a working program, the program should still be legal, and should
still have the same semantics.
In Ada 83 the unrecognized pragmas was syntactically check and skipped
with an optional simple warning that the compiler will skip that pragma.
But in Ada 94 .. 2012 it is a question to what the Implementation will do.
It kinds of kills the Ada concept of "predictable" and that's a shame for all
who controls the design of Ada.
