ada: Fix visibility issue in nested instance with use clause for formal
package
The compiler gives a spurious visibility error for a formal object
parameter
of a formal package with a use clause, present in a parent instance, when
an
instance of a child generic unit is compiled, while this does not happen in
the same circumstances for a formal type parameter.
The discrepancy comes from the Check_Generic_Actuals procedure, which
clears
the Is_Hidden flag on all the actuals of a generic instance, but only sets
the Is_Potentially_Use_Visible flag on the actuals for formal types.
The change also contains a fix for a pasto in Restore_Private_Views, which
is responsible for undoing the changes made by Check_Generic_Actuals.
gcc/ada/ChangeLog:
PR ada/122161
* sem_ch12.adb (Check_Generic_Actuals): Consistently set the
Is_Potentially_Use_Visible flag on actuals whenever the Is_Hidden
flag is cleared.
(Restore_Private_Views): Clear the Is_Potentially_Use_Visible flag
explicitly on the entities of an actual package.
