This commit cleans up the Ada compiler’s exp_ch9.adb by removing a redundant guard in the Scan_Declarations function. The previous code included an explicit check for an empty list of declarations, which is unnecessary because the First operation on an empty list (No_List) already correctly returns Empty. This refinement improves code clarity and efficiency without affecting the compiler’s behavior.
