GUI Frontend for GNAT on UNIX

GUI Frontend for GNAT on UNIX

[Jean-francois FABRE]

Does it exist a GUI frontend for gnu ADA on UNIX/X-WINDOWS/X-MOTIF
platforms?

From what I can tell, GRASP is more of a CASE tool than a a GUI
front-end for GNAT. It looks useful...but not for what Jean-francois was
asking about.

Actually, they say in their Current Features page that GRASP is indeed a
gui interface to GNAT. "Interface with GNAT - GRASP now acts as a GUI
front-end to GNAT, the GNU Ada Translator. This interface includes the
ability to run semantic checks via the compiler, as well as perform
compiles and makes without having to leave the CSD window. Additionally,
if errors are found during compilation, the offending line of code is
highlighted in the CSD window."

I'm one of the developers on the GRASP team at Auburn Univ.  The Unix
version of GRASP is designed to be a front-end to the compiler as
well as a code understanding tool.  It does not include a debugger,
but programs can be executed from within the GUI.  A Win95/WinNT
version of GRASP with the same capabilities will be available by
spring of '97.
