Subject: [Ada] Interface type conversions are not dynamically tagged
Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2011 14:12:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110905141227.GA17140@adacore.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 910 bytes --]

A view conversion to an interface type is expanded into a dereference of a
temporary that involves the class-wide interface type. Nevertheless such an
expression is not dynamically tagged, and is not a controlling argument in 
a call.

Compiling main.adb must be rejected with:

   main.adb:8:10: call to abstract procedure must be dispatching

---
with Types; use Types;
procedure Main is
    V : R;
begin
    I (V).P1;
    I'Class (V).P1;
    I (V).P2;
    I'Class (V).P2;
end Main;
---
package Types  is
  type I is interface;

   procedure P1 (V : I)  is null;
   procedure P2 (V : I) is abstract;

   type R is new I with null record;

   procedure P2 (V : R) is null;
end Types;

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

	* sem_disp.adb (Find_Controlling_Arg): Add checks for
	interface type conversions, that are expanded into dereferences.
