gnat - What caused this Ada compilation error "ambiguous character literal"? -
i have ada code.
with ada.text_io; use ada.text_io; procedure for_loop begin counter in 'a'..'z' loop put(counter); end loop; new_line; end for_loop; the ada compiler (gnatmake) outputs these error message.
gcc -c for_loop.adb for_loop.adb:6:24: ambiguous character literal for_loop.adb:6:24: possible interpretation: character for_loop.adb:6:24: possible interpretation: wide_character for_loop.adb:6:24: possible interpretation: wide_wide_character gnatmake: "for_loop.adb" compilation error what's wrong code?
from post https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_rm/legal-ada-83-programs-that-are-illegal-in-ada-95.html:
the problem 'a' , 'z' either character or wide_character. simplest correction make type explicit; e.g.: char in character range 'a' .. 'z' loop ... end loop;
with ada.text_io; use ada.text_io; procedure for_loop begin counter in character range 'a'..'z' loop put(counter); end loop; new_line; end for_loop; this oupput:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
