Hello, The topic I am coming with may looks a bit stupid at first sight, I hope not too much, as this may be worth to discuss. SPARK defines some reserved words as a kind of keywords -- in the first list -- and reserved words as FDL predefined identifiers -- in the second list. The ones from the first... 20 May 2010 12:45
