Subject: Subprogram overloading
Date: 16 Apr 92 21:52:04 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21276@hacgate.UUCP> (raw)

Is it considered good form to overload basic io subprograms?
For example, I want to overload OPEN so I can print an error
containing the file name from my new OPEN subprogram when 
a file open error occurs.


I've just started teaching myself ada and I wrote my first 
program today ("hello world" =;^).  Just for the record
I've been programming in C (C for choatic) for the past two 
years and I'm looking forward to Ada programming.  From what 
little I've read, I can tell that I'll like it.  Ada seems 
to strike me as a software designer's/engineer's language; and 
C is ... well, lets say it's caused me enough headaches when
programming in team projects.  I think the only thing I might
miss is variable argument lists and the printf statement (
remember, I don;t know much about Ada).

Thanks in advance.
