The case Dmitry was talking about (or at least that I thought he was talking
about) is deriving a new type from a dynamically loaded type. That can be
implemented, but you have to know the type you are deriving from in the Ada
model (classwide parents are illegal in Ada). So it doesn't buy a huge
amount.
You are talking about exposing different implementations of the same Ada
type in a dynamically loaded library, and that of course works fine. You
can't have truly different types in the Ada model, since you are sharing the
specification (essentially, only the body is dynamically loaded; even if the
code for the spec is included in the dynamic loaded unit, the static
properties have to be the same).
Randy.
