Ann: HAC v.0.2

[Gautier write-only address]

HAC (HAC Ada Compiler) is a quick, small, open-source Ada
compiler, covering a subset of the Ada language.
HAC is itself fully programmed in Ada.

Web site: http://hacadacompiler.sf.net/
From there, links to sources, and an executable for Windows.

Source repositories:
#1 svn: https://sf.net/p/hacadacompiler/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
#2 git: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac

* Main improvements since v.0.1:

- a program run by HAC can exchange data with the
programm running HAC, through dynamically registered call-backs
- see package HAC_Sys.Interfacing and demos:
src/apps/exchange_native_side.adb
src/apps/exchange_hac_side.adb

- the compiler checks that all choices in a CASE statement
are covered

- the compiler performs more compile-time range checks and
optimizes away useless run-time checks when it's safe to do so.

Enjoy!
