Question

I wrote a library in Ada and I would like for the client to only need to include one package into their code. Something like:

with all_packages;

That will include all the packages useful for the client. I wrote the library with one package for each tagged type to keep things simple and easy to read.

How do I give the library user the possibility to include all packages with only one statement?

Answer 1

You can’t.

You did well by encapsulating each tagged type in its own package, that’s the approach recommended for object-oriented programming in Ada.

Client code then simply ‘withs’ just those packages it needs.
