1
A generic_renaming_declaration is used to rename a generic unit.
2
generic_renaming_declaration::=
generic package defining_program_unit_name renames generic_package_name;
| generic procedure defining_program_unit_name renames generic_procedure_name;
| generic function defining_program_unit_name renames generic_function_name;
3
The renamed entity shall be a generic unit of the corresponding kind.
4
A generic_renaming_declaration declares a new view of the renamed generic unit.
NOTES
5
16 Although the properties of the new view are the same as those of the renamed view, the place where the generic_renaming_declaration occurs may affect the legality of subsequent renamings and instantiations that denote the generic_renaming_declaration, in particular if the renamed generic unit is a library unit (see 10.1.1).
6
Example of renaming a generic unit:
7
generic package Enum_IO renames Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO; −− see A.10.10
