When a for loop for an enumeration type with an enumeration representation clause is expanded, it's rewritten as a loop over an integer loop parameter and the original loop parameter is moved into a new nested block. When the block is analyzed, the moved entity gets appended to the block scope's entity list (as it should), but is left on the loop scope's entity list, and no longer has a successor (because its Next_Entity is set to null). This causes other entities on the loop to get lost from the loop's entity list. The fix is to remove the loop parameter entity from the loop scope's list, leaving any other declarations on that list intact (such as an itype for the loop paramter's subtype). This problem surfaced when generating debugging info with the GNAAMP compiler, due to encountering a loop parameter's itype that was not found on any entity list.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk 2011-10-13 Gary Dismukes <dismu...@adacore.com> * exp_ch5.adb (Expand_N_Loop_Statement): For the transformation of a for loop for an enumeration type with an enumeration rep clause, which involves moving the original loop parameter into a nested block, the loop parameter's entity must be removed from the entity list of the loop scope.
