J.12 Pragma Interface

Syntax

1/2

{AI95-00284-02} In addition to an identifier, the reserved word interface is allowed as a pragma name, to provide compatibility with a prior edition of this International Standard.

1.a/2

Implementation Note: {AI95-00284-02} All implementations need to at least recognize and ignore this pragma. A syntax error is not an acceptable implementation of this pragma.

Wording Changes from Ada 95

1.b/2

{AI95-00326-01} This clause is new. This is necessary as interface is now a reserved word, which would prevent pragma Interface from being an implementation-defined pragma. We don't define any semantics for this pragma, as we expect that implementations will continue to use whatever they currently implement - requiring any changes would be counter-productive.
