Strings.Wide_Hash. Function or package?

General
1

In the Reference Manual (RM), the library function Ada.Strings.Hash is specified
(see RM A.4.9 String Hashing).

In addition, Wide_Hash and Wide_Wide_Hash are noted as corresponding to the library functions previously mentioned with minor alterations (RM A.4.7 29/3).

The library function Ada.Strings.Hash is listed under RM Q.3 Language-Denfined Subrograms while Ada.Strings.Wide_Hash is listed under RM Q.1 Language-Defined Packages.

Is there a reason for this? It does not feel correct to my untrained eye.

You are correct: [[Wide_]Wide_]Hash are functions, not packages. You have found an error in the ARM, which you should report, though I’m not sure how that’s done these days.

Looks like the ARM takes report on Github now, so I’ve sent a quick report their way. Thanks for double checking the issue, I thought I was seeing things for a minute there.
