Pragma Attribute_Definition

Next: Pragma Ast_Entry, Previous: Pragma Assume_No_Invalid_Values, Up: Implementation Defined Pragmas

Syntax:

     pragma Attribute_Definition
       ([Attribute  =>] ATTRIBUTE_DESIGNATOR,
        [Entity     =>] LOCAL_NAME,
        [Expression =>] EXPRESSION | NAME);

If Attribute is a known attribute name, this pragma is equivalent to the attribute definition clause:

       for Entity'Attribute use Expression;

If Attribute is not a recognized attribute name, the pragma is ignored, and a warning is emitted. This allows source code to be written that takes advantage of some new attribute, while remaining compilable with earlier compilers.
