[COMMITTED] ada: Allow attributes like First and Last to be read in Exceptional_Cases
Checks
Commit Message
From: Piotr Trojanek <trojanek@adacore.com>
Attributes that do not read data from the object can be safely used in
consequences of Exceptional_Cases regardless of the parameter passing
mode.
gcc/ada/
* sem_res.adb (Resolve_Entity_Name): Relax rules for Exceptional_Cases.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
