The GNAT reference manual says in 11.6 Wide_Text_IO <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_rm/Wide_005fText_005fIO.html>,
"The default encoding method for the standard files, and for opened
files for which no WCEM parameter is given in the FORM string matches
the wide character encoding specified for the main program (the
default being brackets encoding if no coding method was specified with
-gnatW)."
This is not true; the default is brackets encoding regardless of the
coding method specified with -gnatW.
The attached patch (to 7.1.0) corrects this. Tested on
x86_84-apple-darwin15 by rebuilding the library (cd gcc; make gnatlib
gnatlib-shared) and make -j4 check-ada,
