I already know a couple ways around the bug, starting from going back
to

if Dir (Dir'Last) = '\' then
return Dir;
else
return Dir & '\';
end if;

all the way to

function Validate (Dir : in String) return String is
Validated : constant String := (if Dir (Dir'Last) = '\' then Dir
else Dir & '\');
begin
return Validated;
end Validate;

This has nothing to do with syntax, which is correct AFAICS (please
note the above example with the Validated constant string compiles
just fine). It's a plain simple bug.

I installed the latest version of GNAT GPL on windows 7 and i cannot
get it to work. It seems that it is not compatible, so I will jave to
see if this new version can work well.
