8.5.5 Generic Renaming Declarations
From OC Systems Wiki!
A generic_renaming_declaration is used to rename a generic unit.
Syntax
generic_renaming_declaration ::=
generic package defining_program_unit_name renames generic_package_name;
| generic procedure defining_program_unit_name renames generic_procedure_name;
| generic function defining_program_unit_name renames generic_function_name;
Legality Rules
The renamed entity shall be a generic unit of the corresponding kind.
Static Semantics
A generic_renaming_declaration declares a new view of the renamed generic unit.
Notes
15 Although the properties of the new view are the same as those of the renamed view, the place where the generic_renaming_declaration occurs may affect the legality of subsequent renamings and instantiations that denote the generic_renaming_declaration, in particular if the renamed generic unit is a library unit (see 10.1.1).
Examples
Example of renaming a generic unit:
generic package Enum_IO renames Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO; -- see A.10.10
