Bug 74268 – Error compiling adabindx with gnat 3.4.1

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bobby D. Bryant 2004-12-13 03:08:20 UTC]

When the emerge compilation gets to Interfaces.C.Strings.String_Lists (i-csstli.adb), you get a warning that Elmt_Size is not modified and thus could be declared a constant, but then it says "treated as error". Later, when it gets to the first package that with's Interfaces.C.Strings.String_Lists it complains that the with'd package "no longer exists"

FYI, you can work around it and get a clean emerge if you modify i-csstli.adb to make Elmt_Size a constant in the declaration.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge adabindx


Actual Results:  
emerge fails

Expected Results:  
emerge succedes

Created attachment 46104 [details]
Modified .ebuild to fix the compilation problem under gnat 3.4.1

This revised ebuild (dubbed "-r1") adds the following line to src_unpack(), to
fix broken compilation under gnat 3.4.1 -

sed -i -e "s/Elmt_Size : size_t/Elmt_Size : constant size_t/" lib/i-csst

I think this will work for older versions of gnat as well, but I have not tried
it.
