Package O defines type O.  GNAT does not recognize the type here:

with O; use O;
procedure O_Test is
  Object: O; -- HERE
begin
  Create(Object);
end O_Test;

I have to spell it out for him (tested, other lines being equal):

  Object: O.O;

Academic question: is this a legal complaint from a (aledgedly) validated
compiler?

(GNAT says "subtype mark required in this context" which I find confusing
because one does not immediately realise that what he is missing is a
"subtype indication" but this is another story I think.)

Thanks,
