With languages in the plural. Does that mean our title is wrong? !topic is overridden {in} the visible part !reference AARM-3.9.2(19.b);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion !topic reference to RM9X !reference AARM-3.10.2(22.h);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion Presumably such a reference needs to be changed for the final version. !topic It[']s !reference AARM-4.9(40.c);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion !topic [realm]{domain} twice !reference AARM-4.9(44.g);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion I think you use domain rather than realm elsewhere. !topic exception is not a cake !reference AARM-4.9(44.r);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion "forbidding the exception raising" sounds odd like bread or cake rising in the oven. being raised perhaps. !topic parent in wrong font !reference AARM-7.3(6.m);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion I assume that parent is not a new reserved word! !topic renaming and controlling result !reference AARM-8.5.1(3.e);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion Clarify whether in the example the parameter of F may or may not also be controlling. !topic string malformed in example !reference AARM-11.4.2(11);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion The string "Unknown error ... is a mess! !topic duplication of exception information !reference AARM-11.4.1(19);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion I applaud the improvment in this area that message and name do not overlap. I observe however that informatiohn now includes name and message. Presumably htis is the users message if so provided. Also if the occurrence is saved and restored thereby being truncated what happens to the infromation; is it lost? Not thta my request was for the information to be distinct so that the pattern in the example would be Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Name(The_Error)); Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Message(The_Error)); if Verbosity_Desired then Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Information(The_Error)); end if; Note also that the Introduction para 110 (Gosh the para nos are on the inside margin on these pages) suggests all disjoint. !topic example of 'Size needs clarification !reference AARM-13.1(14);5.7 !from John Barnes 94-11-14 <> !discussion Please make this a bit clearer. I appreciate the intent. Just changing the wills to woulds would help. Also spurious it before loads in 14.f
