Retrieve the first index from the base type when slicing a string literal. * sem_ch12.adb (Check_Private_View): Move the initialization of the type inside the loop to reflect the changing index. * sem_eval.adb (Eval_Relational_Op): Retrieve the first index from the base type when dealing with a string literal. * sem_res.adb (Resolve_Slice): Retrieve the first index from the base type when slicing a string literal. * sem_util.adb (Is_Internally_Generated_Renaming): New routine.
