VASG Issue Number: 0185 Comment Author: Clive Charlwood for Sivaram Nayudu Comment Number: 01 Comment Date: 1991/03/22 Accessing an object which is an alias is equivalent to accessing the object it referred in the alias declaration. Assume that the range of the aliased object is strcter than the range of the object is referring to. Now if the value being accessed is already out of bounds for the aliased object, what should be done. We could use the range constraint to check bounds when the object is assigned by assigning to the aliased object. This, however, will make it inconsistent and should not be allowed. Conclusion: LRM section 4.3.4 (page 4-13) should be modified to disallow range constraints in alias declarations.
