ADA

ANN: Units of measurement for Ada v2.8
The library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and irregular measurement units are supported. Shifted units like degrees Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are provided for all various irre... 6 Jul 2008 05:50

Using Ada.Containers.Vector and Limited Private types
I'm trying to sort a collection of Ada.Directories.Directory_Entry (a limited private type) by storing pointers to them in a Vector but am having problems with accessibility rules. Is it possible to do this? Package Ada.Directories only has procedures that have "in out"/out parameters for the Directory_... 16 Jul 2008 18:12

Units of measurement for Ada v2.7
I am glad that such a program exists in ADA but I think there are more programs that just convert dimensions. What I think that is more urgent is a standard database for such conversions and a package that can use such a database in any program. In the past I wrote such a set of routines (in Visual C++) in which ... 5 Jul 2008 10:28

Functional programming in Ada
FP guru Chris Okasaki wrote an interesting post on doing functional programming in Ada. Perhaps mostly a curiosity, but interesting that it can be done. http://okasaki.blogspot.com/2008/07/functional-programming-inada.html ... 4 Jul 2008 00:49

Distributed programming
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to get working the annex E of Ada about Distributed programming. I get very few pieces of information about it. Is there any body out there able to give me some tips how to use disttribuated programming? I know there is some pragma: Remove_Call... 5 Jul 2008 00:19

Interfacing to C and types visible to Ada
I have a question related to interfacing to C, but I think it deserves a new thread. Imagine a C API that uses the int type to express something that does not have any dedicated domain. In other words, it is not "number of apples", not "height in meters", not "hotel room number", etc., it is just plain "integer"... 5 Jul 2008 16:36
