Missing Search (..) Operation From Ada.Directories

Missing Search (..) Operation From Ada.Directories

[Anh Vo]

Operation Search (...) defined in A.16 paragraph 26/2 of the ARM 2005
is missing from GNAT under gcc-4.1.x (gcc-4.1-20060428) and gcc-4.2
Stage 3 (gcc-4.2-20060429). The specification of this operation is
copied and shown here for convenience.

procedure Search (
      Directory : in String;
      Pattern   : in String;
      Filter    : in Filter_Type := (others => True);
      Process   : not null access procedure (
          Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type));

Could any one know why? Thanks in advance for your insight.

Probably because that was a relatively last-minute insertion into the
package (it was added in February 2005), and as that was the only
substantive change made in the last couple of years, it may have been
overlooked. (It was missing from the Janus/Ada package until 10 seconds ago
:-), so they're not the only ones to have missed it.)

Thanks for your info. In addition, I am glad that Janus/Ada has it now.
I hope that AdaCore/GNAT will follow suit.
