Hi,

I meet a strange behavior with the SPARK syntax checker (via the examine=
r).

If I have something of the form

    procedure My_Procedure
    is
       Who_Know_What : Who_Know_What_Type;
       use type My_Type;
    begin
       ... bla-bla-bla ...
    end My_Procedure;

it's OK.

While if I have something like

    procedure My_Procedure
    is
       use type My_Type;
    begin
       ... bla-bla-bla ...
    end My_Procedure;

Then the spark syntax checker complains =E2=80=9CSyntax Error reserved "=
IS" cannot  =

be followed by "USE" here.=E2=80=9D

So, if the =E2=80=9Cuse type=E2=80=9D comes after any kind of declaratio=
n (type or  =

entity), that's OK, but if this comes at the first place, or worst, alon=
e,  =

so that it cannot be anywhere than at the first place, then it is reject=
ed.

Strange. So much strange to me that I wonder if weither or not this is  =

something which had not been seen as a possible issue.

What people here think about it ?

Is SPARK missing something or is there a rational ?
