I want an option to define the default via MANIFEST.MF. But then I guess the designers did not want that to prevent misuse.

So no need to instantiate. But why no predefined package for complex IO also? Ada.Text_IO.Complex_IO is generic package, and I have to instantiate it for float to do complex IO? May be I overlooked something. I am using GNAT 4.3.4 thanks --Nasser

May be I overlooked something. There is Complex_Text_IO, see RM A(2/3) and RM G.1.3(9.1/2)

These are also defined by the language, and implemented in GNAT: Ada.Complex_Text_IO (a-coteio.ads) Ada.Long_Complex_Text_IO (a-lcteio.ads) Ada.Long_Long_Complex_Text_IO (a-llctio.ads) Ada.Short_Complex_Text_IO (a-scteio.ads) > Ada.Text_IO.Complex_IO is generic package, and I have to instantiate it > for float to do complex IO? May be I overlooked something. They're easy to overlook in the RM, because the entire package spec is not shown -- just a short paragraph describing what they look like. See G.1.3(9.1/2). As far as I know, all of the generic numerics stuff has pre-instantiated versions for Float, Long_Float, etc. - Bob |
