Subject: Ada.Exceptions could be 'pragma Preelaborate' ?

Message-ID: <u90hxkjhl.fsf@gsfc.nasa.gov> (raw)

Currently, Ada.Exceptions has no elaboration pragma, and thus any unit
that 'withs' Ada.Exceptions cannot have 'pragma Preelaborate'. This is
a pain; I'm building a nice library, everything is either Pure or
Preelaborate, but then I start adding nice error messages to my
exceptions, and I have to get rid of the pragmas. I started replacing
Preelaborate with Elaborate_Body, and got some circular elaboration
problems.

So, is there a reason Ada.Exceptions can't be Preelaborate? nothing in
the public spec violates a rule; do most implementations require
something that does?
