Section 16.5. The example program
dist.ada
is not correct. The designated type of a remote access type must be limited private by E.2.2(9). If you make it limited private, then the RCI packages are not correct because they may not define a limited type by E.2.3(11). You need an extra level of indirection as shown in the following program.
This problem was not caught on version 3.10p of GNAT that I used.
