Hi people out there,

I get into troubles with AdaControl many times I use an Ada 2012  =

construct, like this one (just a short real example):

    pragma Assert (for all D in Digit_Type =3D> Digit (Digit_Image (D)) =
=3D D);

Running AdaControl on the package body containing the above, ends with  =

this:

    AdaCtl version: 1.13r8 with ASIS 2.0.R for GNAT 4.7.0 20111119  =

(experimental)
    ASIS error: ASIS.EXCEPTIONS.ASIS_FAILED
    In rule  : STYLE
    For unit : IPV4.BYTES.IMAGES
    Status   : NOT_IMPLEMENTED_ERROR
    Diagnosis: Not Implemented Query:

That's frustrating, do I have to forget about AdaControl (which I like a=
  =

lot) or about the Ada 2012 construct (which I like as much) which make i=
t  =

failed? How do you, people, deal with this? The above Assert statement a=
ct  =

as much as documentation as an opportunity for a real check. I could  =

comment it out, but would lose any relevance. Comments are nice, but  =

checked self=E2=80=91explained expressions are far better. That's obviou=
sly not  =

critical, but that's a lot of frustrations, and I get it every time.

I am also wondering if this is due to ASIS=E2=80=91for=E2=80=91GNAT impl=
ementation or to  =

the actual status of the ASIS standard (a long time I did use it, so I'm=
  =

aware of how it currently go). This may be the most relevant question he=
