Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Refine Ada overload matching
Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2023 08:37:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231205-ada-overload-v1-2-9d97ac80a60e@adacore.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231205-ada-overload-v1-0-9d97ac80a60e@adacore.com>

Currently, the overload handling in Ada assumes that any two array
types are compatible.  However, this is obviously untrue, and a user
reported an oddity where comparing two Ada strings resulted in a call
to the "=" function for packed boolean arrays.

This patch improves the situation somewhat, by requiring that the two
arrays have the same arity and compatible base element types.  This is
still over-broad, but it seems safe and is better than the status quo.
