Bug #: 53737 Summary: Assert_Failure sinfo.adb:1066 on a generic package with an package as parameter (Ada Util) Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: ada AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: stephane.car...@gmail.com GCC 4.7.1 fails to compile a generic package that compiled correctly with GCC 4.4.3, 4.5.4 and 4.6.3. FYI, the generic package comes from Ada Utility Library. The generic package uses two packages as parameter: generic with package Vectors is new Ada.Containers.Vectors (<>); with package Element_Mapper is new Record_Mapper (Element_Type => Vectors.Element_Type, others => <>); package Util.Serialize.Mappers.Vector_Mapper is and the 'Record_Mapper' is itself a generic package defined with: generic type Element_Type is limited private; type Element_Type_Access is access all Element_Type; type Fields is (<>); with procedure Set_Member (Into : in out Element_Type; Field : in Fields; Value : in Util.Beans.Objects.Object); package Util.Serialize.Mappers.Record_Mapper is The issue seems to be in sem_ch12.adb:1460 in Analyze_Associations when it is checking a N_Formal_Type_Declaration. I guess this could be the Element_Type_Access but I have no clear fact about that (I stopped there my investigations). +===========================GNAT BUG DETECTED==============================+ | 4.7.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Assert_Failure sinfo.adb:1066 | | Error detected at util-serialize-mappers-vector_mapper.ads:29:4 | | Please submit a bug report; see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html. | | Use a subject line meaningful to you and us to track the bug. | | Include the entire contents of this bug box in the report. | | Include the exact gcc or gnatmake command that you entered. | | Also include sources listed below in gnatchop format | | (concatenated together with no headers between files). | +==========================================================================+ Please include these source files with error report Note that list may not be accurate in some cases, so please double check that the problem can still be reproduced with the set of files listed.
