GNAT 4.2.3 Ubuntu reports weird compile error wrt Unchecked_Access
I have a curious report from two members of the development team for PLplot, a popular plotting package for which I have written bindings in Ada. The project is mature enough that the team decided to enable Ada by default when building, so I am concerned about the following e- mail. ========== begin e-mail =====... 17 Aug 2008 18:11

Ada Mode and GNAT Project files
This has been discussed before, specifically by Ludovic Brenta in 2005. <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/ thread/8ca2d617a0d92ff/2dad47ea5cfa17ed?lnk=gst&q=ada+mode+gnat+project +files#2dad47ea5cfa17ed> I'm wondering if anything ever came of plans to replace Ada Mode Projects with GNAT Pr... 16 Aug 2008 09:30

Ann: GWenerator 0.8
GWenerator is a code generator that translates a Resource Compiler script file (.rc or .dlg) into an Ada package for the high-level GWindows GUI framework for MS Windows.

ANN: Ahven 1.3
Hi, I would like to announce Ahven 1.3. Ahven is a simple unit test library for Ada 95. It is loosely modelled after JUnit and some ideas are taken from AUnit. Ahven is distributed under permissive ISC license and should work with any Ada 95 compiler. This is a bug fix release. For example, the changes in... 13 Aug 2008 12:48

AdaWorks/APQ :: Build System :: Call for Help!
Hello there, AdaWorks is a big and ambitious project. I'm about to make our first release and we will already ship 9 modules + 8 sample modules. In such a complex system, the build system is always a concern. During AdaWorks development we decided to use GPR and include dependencies using a completel... 10 Aug 2008 17:07

Furthermore he outlines the structure of how such a simple program might look. package x is -- spec and body of ... 13 Aug 2008 09:42

slicing bidimensional arrays
I want to slice a bidimensional array. Or extract/view a row thereof as a unidimensional array (of the same component type of course). This is illegal in Ada. So I am designing a slicer/extractor/viewer subprogram. The arrays can be large, so I want to approximate the efficiency of view conversions. I'd appreciate ... 9 Aug 2008 10:30
