I've remained quiet up 'til now as a lot of information has been flying about and I'm trying to take it all in. The first point to make is that I have already written commercial parsers for C, C++, Java, Delphi and Powerbuilder so I know what I'm doing and Ada doesn't scare me ;-)(yet) Ada will definately bring it's own challenges but at least there's no preprocessor (C++'s biggest problem). I think someone said it was pointless to write something that reverse engineered pure Ada into UML (or words to that or similar effect). Well, it's not pointless for people that want to use our UML tool to generate and reverse engineer Ada. It doesn't matter that there's some tool already available that will analyse Ada code. That's of no use to our customers at all. The question then, it seems, is do I deal with pure Ada or use ASIS? The answer to that will come from our sales and marketing group. I shall send them a transcript of the last 34 messages and let them fight it out!
