if Restrict_Func /= null confusion
Well folks its been at least 4 years since I've perused and/or written Ada source. That aside I'm perusing source code written in Ada. So consider: -- used to restrict a variable within a range -- for example: -PI to +PI type Restrict_Function is access function (X: Real4) return Real4; type Filt_Data is ... 31 Mar 2008 20:00

Converting Type Characters to type string
Hi, I am looking for a way to convert a group of characters to a string. For the program I am writing I am having the user input a group of characters and comparing them. But I also need the characters in the form of a string later on so I can use int := Integer'Value(str); How would I go about doing this? F... 3 Apr 2008 10:37

Untyped Ada?
It's a slow Monday, so it's time to ask non-pertinent, and possibly impertinent, question: If a non-typed or weakly typed version of Ada were available, would you use it? A) Never! My code is perfect, and I never, ever have to convert types! B) Maybe for prototypes. C) Late at night when I thought nobody c... 12 Apr 2008 12:42

Ada.Real_Time behavior with GNAT
Hi everybody. I have a question related to the Ada.Real_Time package. When I compile the following code using GNAT GPL 2007 on Windows XP SP2 I observe some strange looking behavior. with Ada.Real_Time; with Ada.Text_IO; procedure Timing is Start_T : Ada.Real_Time.Time; End_T : Ada.Real_Time.Time;... 31 Mar 2008 18:39

Generics with concrete and class-wide types
Consider a generic subprogram that makes sense for arguments of both class-wide type and a concrete type. As a motivating example, there might be a hierarchy of iterator types rooted in some imaginary Iterator type that is itself defined in the generic package with the element type as its own formal parameter.
