You are aware that SCADE supports more then one target programming language? http://www.esterel-technologies.com/products/scade-suite/code-generation.html On the one hand this supports you claim - If you use SCADE then programming language is indeed irrelevant. On the other hand, looking at the code sample I guess no one ever need to do any editing inside the generated code. I suspect that programming is done in "SCADE" not C or Ada. Martin PS: I find the order they give in there drop-down box quite telling with SPARK-Ada at the top and Standart C at the bottom while at the same time all marketing texts say first C then Ada. I supports my suspicion that languages are more often chosen marketing effort then by actual facts. -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net Ada programming at: http://ada.krischik.com
