From: Michael R on 20 Jan 2010 22:47 Hi folks, I was re-organizing some code and wanted to change some procedure/ function names, e.g., function To_String (T : My_Type) return String; becomes function Name (T : My_Type) return String; Without consulting the docs, I tried function Name (T : My_Type) return String; function To_String (T : My_Type) return String renames Name; pragma Deprecated (To_String); I guess I'm too used to annotating methods in Java and was surprised I couldn't do this in Ada. The only way to do this is to simply rename and fix the compilation errors which is may be in the Ada style: just get it right. Take care, Michael.

I see nothing wrong with your function renaming. What error message did you get? -- Jeff Carter "Every sperm is sacred." Monty Python's the Meaning of Life 55

Take care, Michael.

GNAT has an implementation-defined "pragma Obsolescent", see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_rm/Pragma-Obsolescent.html -- Ludovic Brenta. |
