Silly Ada Generic Package Management? -


i have started using ada, , i'm finding generic package declarations rather silly. maybe i'm not doing right, i'm looking better options.

take @ below example.

package std_code_maps new    ada.containers.map(key_type     => std_code_type;                       element_type => ada.strings.unbounded.unbounded_string); std_code_map : std_code_maps.map;  -- . . .  procedure do_something    item : ada.strings.unbounded.unbounded_string; begin    item := std_code_maps.element(std_code_maps.first(std_code_map));    -- item    -- . . . end do_something;

it cleaner able write std_code_map.first.element instead of godforsaken std_code_maps.element(std_code_maps.first(std_code_map));

obviously i'm doing wrong -- think. i'm repeating phrase std_code_map @ least thrice on there. i'm verbosity , everything, code i'm writing seems bad , silly me.

i wondering if there solution doesn't require rename package package map renames std_code_maps; of course shorten code don't want on each , every procedure entry. think std_code_map.first.element simpler. can done in ada 2012?

note: using unbounded_string package default difficult. did standard library designers give thought ridiculous , overly long package hierarchy?

thanks reading this, , potentially helping me out. i'm new ada.

gnat gpl 2012 , 2013, , fsf gcc 4.7 , 4.8, support new container indexing scheme of ada 2012, means can write

item := std_code_map ({some cursor});

and can -gnat05 switch force ada 2005 mode! (which has bug).

ada 2005 allows call primitive function of tagged type using object.function notation, provided first operand of tagged type; can write std_code_map.first shorthand std_code_maps.first (std_code_map).

putting these together, can write

item := std_code_map (std_code_map.first);

which quite short!

assembly - 8086 TASM: Illegal Indexing Mode -

this question has answer here: illegal use of register in indirect addressing 1 answer i writing 8086 assembly program needs compile through tasm v3.1. running error can not seem fix. my data segment has following set purposes of keyboard input: parao label byte maxo db 5 acto db ? datao db 5 dup('$') what trying first character entered, first byte of datao: lea dx, datao mov bl, [dx] however, when attempt compile, error: **error** h5.asm(152) illegal indexing mode line 152 "mov bl, [dx]" any appreciated. if matters, running tasm through dosbox (my laptop running 64-bit win7) google hasn't come helpful answers. can post entirety of code if necessary. pretty sure reason can't use dx register pointer. try instead using [si], [di] or [bx]: lea bx, data0 mov al, [bx]
