It is sometimes used as a convention across GNAT's code to set the Etype
field of a node to Any_Type to signal a name resolution error. This has
the potential to be confusing, which is why this patch replaces one such
use of the convention by a less convoluted check.
This only affects error recovery paths, and possibly doesn't change the
behavior of the compiler at all.
gcc/ada/ChangeLog:
* sem_ch4.adb (Analyze_Selected_Component): Tweak condition.
Error_Msg_NE ("invalid prefix in selected component&", N, Sel);
end if;
- -- If N still has no type, the component is not defined in the prefix
+ -- If the selector is not labelled with an entity at this point, the
+ -- component is not defined in the prefix.
- if Etype (N) = Any_Type then
+ if No (Entity (Sel)) then
if Is_Single_Concurrent_Object then
Error_Msg_Node_2 := Entity (Pref);
