When a user tries to declare items e.g. at the
start of the handled_sequence_of_statements
of an accept_statment, the compiler issues
an error message. But it seems to be the default
Junk_Declaration message, which seems kind of wrong
in the following situations:
procedure errmsg is
task T is
entry foo;
end T;
task body T is
begin
accept foo do
item: INTEGER; -- not allowed, ok
begin -- notice the occurence of "begin"
null;
end;
end foo;
end T;
begin
null;
end errmsg;
The message is
9. accept foo do
10. item: INTEGER;
|
>>> declarations must come before "begin"
11. begin
The declaration does in fact come before "begin".
The same message here:
procedure errmsg2 is
begin
x: INTEGER;
begin
null;
end;
end;
To reproduce, run gnatmake on the units.
I though that maybe a rewording might do, something like
"declaration not allowed in HANDLED_SEQUENCE_OF_STATEMENTS"
or
"declaration must be in DECLARATIVE_PART"
