GCC/GNAT and Ada 2005

GCC/GNAT and Ada 2005

[fmdf]

Hi,

I wanted to learn and use containers (AI-302) so I found the Martin
Dowie's Web Page from which to download these features.

Afterwards I read at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-02/msg00420.html that many
patches have been committed to GCC/GNAT since 10 Feb 2005 to add
support for several Ada 2005 (or shouuld I call it Ada0Y?) new
features.

Does it mean that if I download the current version of GCC from the CVS
repository I don't anymore need to download anything from the
above-mentioned web site or anywhere else? Is it all I have to do in
order to make use of containers and the other new features from the
proposed standard?

Sorry as usual for my poor English, I want to thank in advance anyone
who will reply.

Yes, pretty much! :-)

I think you'd still have to download Matt's Ada2005 version from

http://charles.tigris.org/source/browse/charles/src/ai302/

It's better than my <insert_language_of_choice>!

Ciao.

What's the difference between your code and the one from the link you
mentioned?

What features does that GCC patch provide? I was wrong in understanding
that the new proposed standard features were already put inside GCC...
So what's those patches use?

Regards.

My version is for Ada95

Matt's version is for Ada2005

No idea - anonymous access parameters as a minimum, I guess, or Matt's 
version wouldn't compile :-)
