This patch improves an error message on an illegal prefixed procedure
call Obj.Name (Args) when Name denotes a visible component of Obj, as
well as a primitive operation of the type of Obj.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
gcc/ada/
* sem_ch6.adb (Analyze_Call_And_Resolve): Add information to the
error message on an illegal procedure call, when the illegality
is due to the presence of a component of the full view of the
target object, as well as a procedure with the same name (See RM
4.1.3 (9.2/3)).
