True, but the ASIS and GNAT parts are seperated inside two directrorys: "./asis/" and "./gnat/". They comunicate via the specs - as it should be. It is not that diffcult to replace the "./gnat/" sources with a more current one. The resulting ASIS uses then the correct data structures and works with adabrowse which is the most complex asis application I know. > I'm afraid your resulting > source package will suffer from the same trouble gcc 3.3 did: frozen Ada > sources with a moving (incompatible) GCC back-end that compiles but is > pretty unreliable. As I said on the project web side: any resulting ASIS will only work reliable with the GNAT from which it got its "./gnat/" sources. > Same comment for glade btw: the glade run time is tightly coupled with the > corresponding GNAT run time. Which proves Ludovic and my poing: both sources should be moved into gcc tree from where they can draw the current gnat sources all the time. We don't know why ACT did not do so. We can only guess it was either because of restricted resources or for comertial interest. Both of which are fair enough - ACT is a comertial company after all. The only thing I found sad was that libre.act-europe.fr:/anoncvs did not have a asis or glade directory. With Regards Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
