Message-ID: <wCTE8.4168$Ag2.145840@newsfep1-win.server.ntli.net> (raw)

I've been programming Ada95 for several years now, and have referred to
my copies of both Barnes and Skansholm in times of need. All has been
well... until I started working with a guy who has a copy of Skansholm
in Swedish.

Interestingly enough, his copy demonstrates the use of a case statement
with something like this...

when A ! B ! D => do_something;

...as opposed to what I'm familiar with...

when A | B | D => do_something;

I was even more amazed when the first version compiled and functioned in
the same way as the second version.

Has anyone come across this before? I've searched the LRM for clues, but
I can't find any other reference to this syntax. Please reassure me that
I'm not going mad!

Regards

Steve
