Are we talking active integration, then, of the Ada 2005/2006 standard into GCC 4.2.x? That's encouraging, and I wouldn't feel so bad about using different compilers for the time being if an integrated GCC/GNAT-2006 is on the horizon. You bring up an interesting course of action as well. As much as I hate C/C++, I know I need to improve my skills working with them, and what better way to accomplish this than hacking on the compiler itself? Maybe jumping into GCC 4.2 wouldn't be such a bad thing. -- Seth
