[Newbie] Amalgamate child units

[Newbie] Amalgamate child units

[PG]

Hi,

When I want import some child units, like:
with A, A.B, A.B.B1, A.B.B2, A.C, A.C.C1...

is it possible to write: with A.* or something else ?

Thanks for your help.

No.

If you think Java here remember that "with A.B.B1" loads a package and not
just a class. So "with A.B.B1" really is a "import A.B.B1.*".

Not in respect to visibility. "import" in Java is more like "use" in
Ada (and an implied "with" for all-and-everything).

True. But the OP hat the word "[Newbie]" in his subject so I wanted to keep
the answer simple.

Good thinking. Far too often, we see long and endless discussions over
tiny details. This is all very well if you are an Ada professional,
but newbies deserve a short and simple answer which solves their
problem. Otherwise we will just scare them away from Ada.

Well, as long as the short and simple answer is quite correct, I agree
with you here. So next time I will just shut up. :)

No, but

   with A.B.B1;

implies A and A.B, so your sample as far as it goes could be written

   with A.B.B1;
   with A.B.B2;
   with A.C.C1;

However I'm not at all sure that it adds to the clarity to do
this. It's not obvious, really, that you are in fact interested in A.B
