[GNAT] Initialize_Scalars avoids variables with address

Saturday November 14, 2009

Initialize_Scalars no longer has any effect on variables to which an address clause is applied, whether or not an Import pragma is present. This seems more desirable behavior in any case (to avoid the pragma having an effect on a correct program), and makes it easier to use the pragma (since you don’t get warnings about such variables resulting in clobbering something with unexpected initialization). Normalize_Scalars is not affected by this change.
