Can someone tell me where I can find a PDF version of the '83 LRM?

There's an HTML version at adaic.org; I'm not aware of a PDF version.

To my knowledge, the 83 RM was produced directly to paper. (It long predates
things like PDF!). I don't think the original Scribe files exist anymore,
either. The HTML version was created by hand by AJPO (which is why it is
full of markup errors; I can't vouch for the accuracy of the text, either).

The only reason that there is a PDF of the Ada 95 version is that I made one
to test the new tools at the start of the project that created the (2001)
Consolidated RM. It has a few formatting errors that have been discovered
more recently (one just a month ago), so even it can't be considered
"official".

The PDF of the 2001 Consolidated RM is, OTOH, the same as what was printed
by Springer, and I expect the same will be true for the 2005 version when
that is finished up. (Keep in mind the version currently available is the
last draft, and it is possible that some changes will be made in the final
version. There definitely will be some changes in Annex P and the index (not
normative, of course).

That should be more information than you wanted to know... ;-)

Digital (aka DEC, now HP) produced a postscript version of their DEC Ada 
Language Reference Manual which describes itself as

"... the Digital-supplemented text of ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A-1983"

Having had a quick search there seems to be a PDF version at

   http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/ada/ada_lrm.pdf

This might be helpful.

And the little numbers in the margins for the black text are supposed to be 
the original paragraph numbers to the original Ada 83 language standard...

swig news (C++/Ada binding generator)

[rod]

Hello again,

   After a months pause (password problem), there has been a couple of recent 
commits to the GnuAda repository at  

     https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gnuada/trunk/projects/swig-1.3.29


   Two SWIG modules now exist for Ada support; the original 'ada', which uses 
the normal SWIG wrapping approach, and a new 'gnat' module, which maps Ada 
objects to exactly correspond to the C/C++ objects. The 'ada' module is 
intended to be compiler-independent; the 'gnat' module bindings are 
tailored for the GCC/Gnat compiler family.

   The two modules are planned for inclusion into the SWIG repository, after 
the bulk of the testsuite cases have been tried. This may take some time as 
there are well over 300 test cases. Also, the modules are still only 
prototypes (ie largely hacks) and need considerable attention. Finally, the 
generated bindings themselves can stand a great deal of improvement. So there 
is still quite a bit to do.

   If anyone would like to help out with the testsuite, for either module, 
please let me know. Many test cases are small and simple. Each requires 
a 'builder' script, a gnat project file (.gpr) and a small test harness 
written in Ada to exercise the binding. It is often possible to use the files 
of an existing testcase as templates, and just substitute a few names.



regards,

Rod.
