[Ada] Document change to legality checks for Inox case statements
Commit Message
INOX (which is enabled via -gnatX) supports composite case-statement selectors.
As a temporary measure, simplify the coverage-related compile-time checks
for such case statements via two changes: an others choice is always
required for such a case statement, and no legality checks relating to
overlapping of case choices are performed.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
gcc/ada/
* doc/gnat_rm/implementation_defined_pragmas.rst: Document new
temporary rule that a "when others =>" case choice must be given
when casing on a composite selector.
* gnat_rm.texi: Regenerate.
