This patch adds documentation for obsolete pragma Propagate_Exceptions, and also removes the flag and residual junk code in the compiler that did nothing. No test, since no functional effect (just a cleanup!)
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk 2013-07-05 Robert Dewar <de...@adacore.com> * freeze.adb (Freeze_Entity): Remove test of obsolete flag Propagate_Exceptions, and associated useless code that did nothing. * gnat_rm.texi: Add documentation for obsolete pragma Propagate_Exceptions. * opt.ads (Propagate_Exceptions): Obsolete flag removed. * sem_prag.adb (Analyze_Pragma, case Propagate_Exceptions): Remove useless and obsolete setting of Propagate_Exceptions flag.
