Abstract

Names can denote declared entities. These are objects, numbers, types and subtypes, subprograms, packages, tasks and their entries, and exceptions. Names can also be labels, block names, or loop names. Particular forms of names denote attributes, operators, and components of objects. Finally, a name can denote the result returned by a function call.
