Hi people there,

Some basic questions about some part of annexe B.1, Interfacing Pragmas.=


> 9.1/1 For pragmas Import and Export, the argument for Link_Name shalln=
ot  =

> be given without the pragma_argument_identifier unlessthe argument for=
  =

> External_Name is given.
What is that pragma_argument_identifier ? The Convention ?

In legality rules
> 18 T is an access-to-subprogram type, and its designated profile's
> parameter and result types are all L-compatible.
Why no similar wording for imported subprograms ? Was just forget or is =
 =

this missing on purpose ? (or I missed it?)

In notes at the bottom
> 46 5  The local_name in an interfacing pragma can denote more

> applies to all of the denoted entities.
Why not the same with types derived from a type with an interfacing prag=
ma  =

?

Finally, what I was checking the RM for (related to the above), Static  =

Semantics
> 30 An interfacing pragma defines the convention of the entity denoted =
by =

> the local_name.
So except if the type is tagged (as stated above), the convention is los=
t  =

for any derived type of subtypes (as all are not anymore denoted by the =
 =

same name the pragma was referring to) ?.
