OS support for ATC's
|
| |
The LRM 9.7.4 defines an "Asynchronous Transfer of Control" (otherwise known as an abortable select statment), where one part can be preempted by the acceptance of an entry in the other. GNAT, however, defines a compiler-specific "polling" pragma that is ostensibly required to support ATC's on "targets that cannot otherwise support it", and Windows is given as the example.... more »

condition true or false? -> (-1 < sizeof("test"))
|
| |
Forwarding this to guys who write code in real languages to see what they
think of this. AFAIK you cannot get something like that past the compiler in
Ada...and you would have to define a type or a subtype to even have an
unsigned int unless you use a modular type IIRC. In FORTRAN I don't remember... more »

Problem with Delay Alternative in Finalization
|
| |
I am porting code from Solaris to Linux.
I am running in to a problem where a delay alternive used when in
finalization doesn't seem to be working properly.
The delay part never seems to happen.
The actual code is very complex, so I wrote a simple test to see if
the problem still existed.... more »

Vector (container) initialization: the schizophrenic ampersand
|
| |
Shouldn't this be the right idiom to initialize a vector (container) with literals:
use My_Vectors;
V : My_Vectors.Vector := Element1 & Element2 & Element3;
Looks nice, but does not compile (with GNAT), because the compiler cannot make a decision on which "&" function to use where. Is there a way to give precedence to one of the "&" functions? Or some other nice solution? Thanks.... more »

Windows 7, MinGW, GNAT, mysterious problem
|
| |
There seems to be some very weird problem which I cannot identify. Maybe
somebody familiar with MinGW and GNAT/GCC innards can shed some light.
It started as a GtkAda problem, but now I am not sure if it really is. So I
reduced the sample code which originally was Ada to bare C in order to
exclude any Ada/C calling issues.... more »
