The GCC Ada compiler now provides a more precise error message when a record type is frozen prematurely and contains incompletely defined component types. Previously, the error message might misleadingly complain about a ‘private component.’ The updated message directly indicates that the component type is not fully defined, aligning with ARM 3.11.1 (8) and offering clearer guidance to developers on how to resolve the issue.
