[GAP] Ada 2005 object.method doesn't always dispatch

[Martin Carlisle]

Yes, the same behavior happens in Ada 95.  However, I think using the
object.method notation made it less obvious to me that I shouldn't expect
dispatching.

Don't we have the same behavior in Ada95 (I mean this is not related to Ada
2005). Calling a method with a non-classwide type (access type or
not) will never dispatch.
