If the expression function is not a completion, the usage names in the expression must be determined at the point of declaration, even though the generated body is inserted at the end of the current declaration list or package to prevent early freezing.
The following must be rejected with: forward_reference.ads:2:35: "F2" is undefined --- package Forward_Reference is function F1 return Boolean is (F2); -- Error: forward reference function F2 return Boolean is (True); end Forward_Reference; Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk 2011-12-12 Ed Schonberg <schonb...@adacore.com> * sem_ch6.adb (Analyze_Expression_Function): If the function is not a completion, pre-analyze the expression now to prevent spurious visibility on later entities. The body is inserted at the end of the current declaration list or package to prevent early freezing, but the visibility is established at the point of definition.
