My post was prompted by thought that if the generic actual parameters
can be determined at compile time then the code for a generic instance
can be a straight inline expansion of the body. But if not, then the
generated code must contain some mechanism for choice. I thought this
constituded code sharing, though I see that the subject is much wider.
But my curiosity is aroused. How do compilers (does GNAT) deal with this
distinction?
