Problem #1: The parser doesn't seem capture the types of elements in an Ada record.
In the example below, the types myTimeType and myTimeSrc are
- colored as "Symbol not found"
- don't show up as references
Note: I noticed in my code that types in a record declaration from external packages are colored as known ... so the coloring might be a problem just with locally defined types.
Problem #2: The elements (time1, time2, state) in the Representation Clause, e.g. the "for timeMessageType use", are also colored as "Symbol not found".
Problem #3: The record element names (time1, time2, state) in the assignment statement, e.g. "msg := ...", are:
- colored as "Symbol not found"
- don't show up as references
Problem #4: If the code contains variable names with the same names as record element names, SE presumes they are the same. For instance, adding package variables named "time1" and "state" changes the "No symbol found" color to indicate found (though incorrectly referencing the variable) and Find References seems to presume the record components with that same name and the variables are the same. This is probably a really hard fix ... but I thought I would mention it any way.
package body myTime is
type myTimeType is range -(2 ** 63) .. +(2 ** 63 - 1);
type myTimeSrc is
(
Invalid,
Backup,
Primary
);
type timeMessageType is
record
time1 : myTimeType;
time2 : myTimeType;
state : myTimeSrc;
end record;
for timeMessageType use
record
time1 at 0 range 0 .. 63;
time2 at 2 range 0 .. 63;
state at 4 range 0 .. 31;
end record;
procedure test is
msg : timeMessageType;
begin -- test
msg := (time1 => 0,
time2 => 1,
state => Primary);
end test;
end myTime;
