That would be if the port declaration included only the port name. However, if you say that the port declaration may include port attributes (data type, etc.), but you don't guarantee that this information will be used and the real attributes may be something else, that is something else entirely. > > I prefer to try to word the LRM in such a way as to allow > it implicitly, between the lines. > > I don't know how to write an implicit compiler that reads > between the lines. You don't have to. It would come out automatically by implementing the LRM as specified. That does not mean that you have to tell the user explicitly that he can do that combination.
