------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-07-06 19:49 ------- The follow changed removed gnat_types_compatible_p which had said the types were compatible: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-12/msg00563.html
The nice quote from that patch is: It's not clear the compatible type handling is the right approach and it's simpler not to add that complexity in 4.0: there will likely need to be some rethinking of the entire issue in 4.1. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22328
