Subject: Optional body for nested generic

Message-ID: <m262kn2xcf.fsf@pushface.org> (raw)
I was surprised to find that GNAT makes it optional to have a body for a
nested generic package (in the code below, gpack1 has an empty body,
gpack2 doesn't have a body at all).
package Pack is
pragma Elaborate_Body;
generic
package Gpack1 is
procedure Proc;
pragma Import (C, Proc, "proc");
end Gpack1;
generic
package Gpack2 is
procedure Proc;
pragma Import (C, Proc, "proc");
end Gpack2;
end Pack;
package body Pack is
package body Gpack1 is
end Gpack1;
end Pack;
I suppose that the reasoning for disallowing unrequired bodies (roughly,
making it impossible to obsolete the ada library by adding/removing
something with no other impact) only applies at library level, where
there's a correspondence to a file?
