Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 available in Gnu ELPA

Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 available in Gnu ELPA

[Stephen Leake]

Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 is now available in Gnu ELPA.

It requires Emacs 24.3; I'm working on backporting to Emacs 24.2 for
Debian stable, and possibly 23.4.

This supercedes the Emacs Ada mode 4.0b that is in the Emacs
distribution; that will be removed in a future distribution.

To install from Gnu ELPA:

add to ~./emacs:

(package-initialize)

then invoke M-x list-packages, install Ada mode 5.0.1.

To install from source: download from
http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html

This is the long-awaited complete rewrite, supporting almost all Ada
2012 syntax (aspects are not there yet, but I already have one request
for them, so they will be soon). It has been alpha-tested by me and
several users on the Emacs Ada mode mailing list, so it is ready for
general use.

It is based on an OpenToken-generated grammar, which enables more
sophisticated navigation featurs (ie move from 'if' to 'then', 'else',
'end if' etc). It's also a _lot_ easier to maintain.

It also includes experimental support for the new GNAT cross-reference
tool gnatinspect, which handles C, C++, Ada.

For more info, see the updated Ada mode manual in the package in info format,
or at http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/ada-mode.html

Not sure my message went through the list yesterday... Another try :)

I have installed this without trouble. Will report issues.

Thanks for the great work!

Hi,

It's not working for me.

Whit this .emacs file:

<code>
; Emacs package manager
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                         ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
(package-initialize)

; Set the default window dimensions
(when window-system (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 121 53))

; Don't wrap the lines, ever!
(setq-default truncate-lines t)

; don't show the startup screen.
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

; enable syntax highlighting
(require 'font-lock)

; Give me line/column numbers all the time.
(column-number-mode 1)
(line-number-mode 1)

; Colour themes.
(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
  '(progn
     (color-theme-initialize)
     (color-theme-clarity)))
</code>

I just get the following message when I create a new Ada file:

"File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)"

Doing M-x ada-mode gives:

"wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

Enabling "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-5.0.1/ada-mode.el"))" or "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "ada-mode"))" also gives the same error.

I'm not an emacs lisper, I tend to cut n paste other's to get mine to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Luke.

Forgot to mention:

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.6

on Debian Jessie (updated yesterday).

Linux rogue 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.10-1 (2013-12-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

My package-archives is (("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")) (not
sure how that got set).

> (package-initialize)

I have this:
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)  ;<============
(package-initialize)

It's a little while since I set it up, but I think the reason is so I
can (require 'some-elpa-package) as normal.

Hello,

I found one annoying issue, it is not possible to define case exception.
Emacs keep complaining that I have not defined the
ada-case-exception-file even though I have set it in the customize
module. Any idea?

Please try to reproduce from 'emacs -Q':

# in shell:
$ emacs -Q

;; in Emacs:

M-x list-packages

;; should show ada-mode 5.0.1 installed

C-x C-f <an Ada file>

If that works, the problem is somewhere in your .emacs

If it doesn't work, the problem is in the Debian distribution of emacs.
In that case, I'll investigate.

I can reproduce that.

One work-around is to use an Emacs Ada mode project file, and set the
case exception file there. Apparently that's the only use case I tested.

Will be fixed in 5.0.2


Or, if you are up to patching elisp:

in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-5.0.1/ada-mode.el, change the start of
ada-case-create-exception to be:

  (interactive)
  (let ((casing (or (ada-prj-get 'casing)
		    (if (listp ada-case-exception-file)
			ada-case-exception-file
		      (list ada-case-exception-file)))))


Then do M-x byte-compile-file ada-mode.el

Working fine, thanks a lot!

I left out a step here: you need 

M-x package-initialize

Otherwise the next step uses the built-in Ada mode 4.01
