Subject: 9X and the NEED for preprocessing
Date: 14 Dec 89 14:17:40 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1825.629648260@chance> (raw)
Dave Emery is essentially raising an interesting question sequence:
IF the use of preprocessors for Ada code is at all wide-spread THEN
ASSUME uncontrolled use of random preprocessors is not in
agreement with the general principles of Ada use;
IF the things being done with preprocessors can
be done easily and understandably in legal Ada THEN
Write a note/article/book describing the problems being solved
with preprocessors and the way they should be solved with Ada;
ELSE
IF some set of Ada-9X revision suggestions
would make it possible to do so in Ada-9X THEN
List them and describe how they solve the problem;
ELSE
ASSUME the Ada-9X revision submission period is over;
Suggest that we have a problem
END IF
END IF
END IF
(My apologies for the cutesy if-then-else format.) I think it's likely
that the result of "running the program" is to suggest that we have a
problem, but I'm not at all familiar with the submitted suggestions.
