Hi all,

For some test, I wanted to use a Static_Predicate for a subtype (Ada  =

2012), but GNAT complained =E2=80=9Cfile.adb:n:n: aspect identifier expe=
cted=E2=80=9D. So  =

I searched the web for GNAT and Static_Predicate, and found this:

http://old.nabble.com/-Ada--Implement-new-aspects-Dynamic_Predicate-and-=
Static_Predicate-td32168561.html

Seems this patch must be applied in order to have GNAT to support  =

Static_Predicate and Dynamic_Predicate. However, the patch contains no  =

license information, and I would like to know how I should handle such a=
  =

case and any future similar cases. The GNAT compiler I use is one with t=
he  =

GCC Runtime Exception, which I wish to preserve. Is a patch like this to=
  =

be considered part of runtime or not ? It is part of the compiler from  =

some point of view, but also supposed to drive generation of runtime cod=
e,  =

so I feel dubious.

I don't know Arnaud Charlet. Member of AdaCore staff ?

After that, may also have to seek for any other relevant patches, as it =
 =

seems there are some.

With thanks for any track
