Address clauses are checked to verify that they are constistent with the
alignment of the object, after the code generator has established the
required alignment. This check must not be performed on objects of a
generic type, given that the code generator does not see these types and
front-end information is irrelevant for this test.

From code reading, no current example of spurious warnings.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2010-06-14  Ed Schonberg  <schonberg@adacore.com>

	* sem_ch13.adb (Analyze_Attribute_Definition_Clause, case Address): Do
	not insert address clause in table for later validation if type of
	entity is generic, to prevent possible spurious errors.

justfies -> justifies

Perhaps these last lines should be a new sentence
  "We do not insert the clause in the table to prevent spurious warnings"
and personally I think
  "To prevent spurious warnings, we do not insert the clause in the table"
would be less ambiguous (I found it unclear on first reading).

Ciao,

Duncan.
