Comments on IR2074

Folks,

I generally agree that visibility by selection should have precedence over
direct visibility, and so agree with the ultimate recommendation in the IR.
However, I think there is a problem in the analysis related to
interpretation of names in the examples. Specifically, a port name is
visible by selection "at the place of the formal designator" of an
association element. I would interpret this as meaning throughout the formal
designator. In the examples, the port designator takes the form of an
indexed name, X01(X01), in which the prefix and the index expression are
both the name X01. Hence, both occurrences of X01 would refer to the port
name. That means the formal designator is not a locally static name, and for
that reason, the example is illegal.

Cheers,

PA
